The atomic SDMA_REQ_SEND_DONE bit is set by the process-level code, and then the same process-level code uses the bit to test that all packets have been submitted incurring a costly atomic read. Use a bool type with a READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE pairing for this bit, and use the same condition that is used to set the bit to test that all packets have been submitted.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
