  • 7847777a4   atomic: cleanup asm-generic atomic*.h inclusion ... Browse Code »

    After changing all consumers of atomics to include , we
    ran into some compile time errors due to this dependency chain:

    linux/atomic.h
    -> asm/atomic.h
    -> asm-generic/atomic-long.h

    where atomic-long.h could use funcs defined later in linux/atomic.h
    without a prototype. This patches moves the code that includes
    asm-generic/atomic*.h to linux/atomic.h.

    Archs that need need to select
    CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 from now on (some of them used to include it
    unconditionally).

    Compile tested on i386 and x86_64 with allnoconfig.

    This is in preparation for more generic atomic primitives based on
    __atomic_add_unless.

  • 3f9d35b95   atomic: add atomic_inc_not_zero_hint() ... Browse Code »

    Followup of perf tools session in Netfilter WorkShop 2010

    In the network stack we make high usage of atomic_inc_not_zero() in
    contexts we know the probable value of atomic before increment (2 for udp
    sockets for example)

    Using a special version of atomic_inc_not_zero() giving this hint can help
    processor to use less bus transactions.

    On x86 (MESI protocol) for example, this avoids entering Shared state,
    because "lock cmpxchg" issues an RFO (Read For Ownership)

    akpm: Adds a new include/linux/atomic.h. This means that new code should
    henceforth include linux/atomic.h and not asm/atomic.h. The presence of
    include/linux/atomic.h will in fact cause checkpatch.pl to warn about use
    of asm/atomic.h. The new include/linux/atomic.h becomes the place where
    arch-neutral atomic_t code should be placed.
