On weakly ordered memory architectures (such as ARM), it can be of great benefit to omit the barrier instructions where they are not needed. This patch moves the lockless lockref code over to a cmpxchg64_relaxed operation, which doesn't provide barrier semantics. If the operation isn't defined, we simply #define it as the usual 64-bit cmpxchg macro.

Biederman" Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:41:17 -0700 Subject: sysfs: Allow mounting without CONFIG_NET In kobj_ns_current_may_mount the default should be to allow the mount. The test is only for a single kobj_ns_type at a time, and unless there is a reason to prevent it the mounting sysfs should be allowed. Subsystems that are not registered can't have are not involved so can't have a reason to prevent mounting sysfs. This is a bug-fix to commit 7dc5dbc879bd ("sysfs: Restrict mounting sysfs") that came in via the userns tree during the 3.12 merge window. Reported-and-tested-by: James Hogan Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
