Subject: percpu-refcount: Don't use silly cmpxchg()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c1ae6e9b4db00023b9caed72af49a93abad46452;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

percpu-refcount: Don't use silly cmpxchg()

The cmpxchg() was just to ensure the debug check didn't race, which was
a bit excessive. The caller is supposed to do the appropriate
synchronization, which means percpu_ref_kill() can just do a simple
store.
