From this version on, This series is against the next > branch of powerpc tree, because most of the code touch arch/powerpc/*. Sorry if we already discussed this, but did we decide how we were going to merge this? There's the one patch to generic code and then three powerpc patches. It'd make most sense for it to go via powerpc I think. Given that the change to generic code is relatively trivial I'll plan to merge this unless someone objects. Also it is pretty late in the -next cycle for something like this. But AFAICS there are no users of these "atomic*relaxed" variants yet other than arm64 code and qspinlocks, neither of which are used on powerpc. So adding them should be pretty harmless. cheers -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
