The quilt patch titled Subject: smpboot: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in cpu_wait_death and cpu_report_death has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was smpboot-use-atomic_try_cmpxchg-in-cpu_wait_death-and-cpu_report_death.patch This patch was dropped because it had testing failures ------------------------------------------------------ From: Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: smpboot: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in cpu_wait_death and cpu_report_death Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2022 17:13:36 +0200 Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in cpu_wait_death and cpu_report_death. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). Also, atomic_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications. No functional change intended.
