I just took the same suffix as it was in the original code, but for
zero literal, it does not make any change. I can change it, it
preferred.

No, it is correct as written:

if (cmpxchg64(*ptr, 0, new))

can be written as:

if (cmpxchg64(*ptr, 0, new) !=3D 0)

this is equivalent to:

tmp =3D 0ULL;
if (!try_cmpxchg64(*ptr, &tmp, new))

Thanks,
Uros.
