Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] lib/refcount: Improve performance of generic REFCOUNT_FULL code
Date:   Tue, 27 Aug 2019 17:32:03 +0100
Message-Id: <20190827163204.29903-6-will@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <20190827163204.29903-1-will@kernel.org>
References: <20190827163204.29903-1-will@kernel.org>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Rewrite the generic REFCOUNT_FULL implementation so that the saturation
point is moved to INT_MIN / 2. This allows us to defer the sanity checks
until after the atomic operation, which removes many uses of cmpxchg()
in favour of atomic_fetch_{add,sub}().
