From 52c9d2badd1ae4d11c29de57d4e964e48afd3cb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waiman Long Date: Sun, 10 May 2015 21:17:10 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] locking/pvqspinlock: Replace xchg() by the more descriptive set_mb() The xchg() function was used in pv_wait_node() to set a certain value and provide a memory barrier which is what the set_mb() function is for. This patch replaces the xchg() call by set_mb().
