iversion: use atomic64_try_cmpxchg)
Use atomic64_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic64_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in inode_set_max_iversion_raw, inode_maybe_inc_version and inode_query_iversion. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications. The loop in inode_maybe_inc_iversion improves from: 5563: 48 89 ca mov %rcx,%rdx 5566: 48 89 c8 mov %rcx,%rax 5569: 48 83 e2 fe and $0xfffffffffffffffe,%rdx 556d: 48 83 c2 02 add $0x2,%rdx 5571: f0 48 0f b1 16 lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rsi) 5576: 48 39 c1 cmp %rax,%rcx 5579: 0f 84 85 fc ff ff je 5204 <...> 557f: 48 89 c1 mov %rax,%rcx 5582: eb df jmp 5563 <...> to: 5563: 48 89 c2 mov %rax,%rdx 5566: 48 83 e2 fe and $0xfffffffffffffffe,%rdx 556a: 48 83 c2 02 add $0x2,%rdx 556e: f0 48 0f b1 11 lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rcx) 5573: 0f 84 8b fc ff ff je 5204 <...> 5579: eb e8 jmp 5563 <...> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220821193011.88208-1-ubizjak@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
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.
