Subject: llist: Move cpu_relax() to after the cmpxchg()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a3127336b71f6833d1483c856dce91fe558dc3a9;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

llist: Move cpu_relax() to after the cmpxchg()

If in llist_add()/etc. functions the first cmpxchg() call succeeds, it is
not necessary to use cpu_relax() before the cmpxchg(). So cpu_relax() in
a busy loop involving cmpxchg() should go after cmpxchg() instead of before
that.

This patch fixes this for all involved llist functions.
