An pointer is probably one of the most important entities to use with cmpxchg (aside from the ints and longs that we already support). A pointer can be defined to point to any other type. So we would need atomic_pointer_t(<type_pointed_to>)? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
