From 5acba71e18833b9d06686b3751598bfa263a3ac3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2016 15:37:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] locking/atomic: Introduce atomic_fetch_or() This is deemed to replace the type generic fetch_or() which brings a lot of issues such as macro induced block variable aliasing and sloppy types. Not to mention fetch_or() doesn't refer to any namespace, adding even more confusion. So lets provide an atomic_t version. Current and next users of fetch_or() are thus encouraged to use atomic_t.
