From ae05f269400533cbb32bfba131ab528d78dffd16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:21:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Convert nfs_attr_generation_counter into an atomic_long The most important property we need from nfs_attr_generation_counter is monotonicity, which is not guaranteed by the current system of smp memory barriers. We should convert it to an atomic_long_t, and drop the memory barriers.
