Subject: Re: Re: Re: [PATCH] arm: Adding support for atomic half word exchange
Hello Russell,
My apologies for the accidental HTML formatting.
I have reconfigured my e-mail client to use text-only format by default.
Here is the patch and its description.
Since 16 bit half word exchange was not there and MCS based qspinlock
by Waiman's xchg_tail() requires an atomic exchange on a half word,
here is a small modification to __xchg() code to support the exchange.
ARMv6 and lower does not have support for LDREXH, so we need to make sure things
do not break when we're compiling on ARMv6.

CC'ed to relevant maintainers and reposting once again with proper formatting.

here is a small modification to __xchg() code to support the exchange.

First of all, please wrap the text appropriately.
Secondly, you need to cc the relevant maintainer and mailing list (try
running ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl on this patch to get some hints).
