[PATCH] swapoff atomic_inc_not_zero on mm_users

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

 



Now that we have atomic_inc_not_zero, it's more elegant for try_to_unuse
to use that on mm_users: doesn't actually matter at present, but safer to
be sure that once mm_users has gone to 0, nothing raises it for an instant.
