It seems that 5f16f3225b0624 and 00a1a053ebe5, both with same commitlog
("ext4: atomically set inode->i_flags in ext4_set_inode_flags()")
introduced the set_mask_bits API, but somehow missed not using it in
ext4 in the endAlso, set_mask_bits is used in fs quite a bit and we can possibly come up with a generic llsc based implementation (w/o the cmpxchg loop) Cc: Alexander Viro <[email protected]> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Reviewed-by: Anthony Yznaga <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <[email protected]> --- fs/inode.c | 8 +------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/inode.c b/fs/inode.c index 0cd47fe0dbe5..799b0c4beda8 100644 --- a/fs/inode.c +++ b/fs/inode.c @@ -2096,14 +2096,8 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(inode_dio_wait); void inode_set_flags(struct inode *inode, unsigned int flags, unsigned int mask) { - unsigned int old_flags, new_flags; - WARN_ON_ONCE(flags & ~mask); - do { - old_flags = READ_ONCE(inode->i_flags); - new_flags = (old_flags & ~mask) | flags; - } while (unlikely(cmpxchg(&inode->i_flags, old_flags, - new_flags) != old_flags)); + set_mask_bits(&inode->i_flags, mask, flags); } EXPORT_SYMBOL(inode_set_flags); -- 2.7.4
