[PATCH v2 2/3] KVM: s390: Remove one byte cmpxchg() usage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Within sca_clear_ext_call() cmpxchg() is used to clear one or two bytes
(depending on sca format). The cmpxchg() calls are not supposed to fail; if
so that would be a bug. Given that cmpxchg() usage on one and two byte
areas generates very inefficient code, replace them with block concurrent
WRITE_ONCE() calls, and remove the WARN_ON().
