Or at least it is given the following patch. Was this the intent? Thanx, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ percpu: Fix raw_cpu_inc_return() The definition for raw_cpu_add_return() uses the operation prefix "raw_add_return_", but the definitions in the various percpu.h files expect "raw_cpu_add_return_". This commit therefore appropriately adjusts the definition of raw_cpu_add_return(). Signed-off-by: Paul E.
