From e7470ee89f003634a88e7b5e5a7b65b3025987de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:10:29 -0700 Subject: fs: buffer: do not use unnecessary atomic operations when discarding buffers Discarding buffers uses a bunch of atomic operations when discarding buffers because ...... I can't think of a reason. Use a cmpxchg loop to clear all the necessary flags. In most (all?) cases this will be a single atomic operations.
