btrfs: set blocking_writers directly, no increment or decrement
The increment and decrement was inherited from previous version that used atomics, switched in commit 06297d8cefca ("btrfs: switch extent_buffer blocking_writers from atomic to int"). The only possible values are 0 and 1 so we can set them directly. The generated assembly (gcc 9.x) did the direct value assignment in btrfs_set_lock_blocking_write (asm diff after change in 06297d8cefca): 5d: test %eax,%eax 5f: je 62 <btrfs_set_lock_blocking_write+0x22> 61: retq - 62: lock incl 0x44(%rdi) - 66: add $0x50,%rdi - 6a: jmpq 6f <btrfs_set_lock_blocking_write+0x2f> + 62: movl $0x1,0x44(%rdi) + 69: add $0x50,%rdi + 6d: jmpq 72 <btrfs_set_lock_blocking_write+0x32> The part in btrfs_tree_unlock did a decrement because BUG_ON(blockers > 1) is probably not a strong hint for the compiler, but otherwise the output looks safe: - lock decl 0x44(%rdi) + sub $0x1,%eax + mov %eax,0x44(%rdi) Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
