Why do you think those are necessary? I'm worried something like this could happen: CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- set XPT_DATA dec xpt_nr_rqsts svc_xprt_enqueue svc_xprt_enqueue And both decide nothing should be done if neither sees the change that the other made. Maybe I'm still missing some reason that couldn't happen. Even if it can happen, it's an unlikely race that will likely be fixed when another event comes along a little later, which would explain why we've never seen any reports. > > We've had set_bit and atomic_{inc,dec} in this code for ages, > > and I've never noticed a problem. > > > > Rather than adding another CPU pipeline bubble in the RDMA code, > > though, could you simply move the set_bit() call site inside the > > critical sections? > > er, inside the preceding critical section.
