Date: Mon, 07 Feb 2011 11:01:09 +0000 From: "Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@...ell.com> To: <tj@...nel.org>, <cl@...ux.com> Cc: <mingo@...e.hu>, <tglx@...utronix.de>, <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, <hpa@...or.com> Subject: x86: mis-named percpu_xchg_op() after switch to cmpxchg? Other than its name implies, with the switch to use cmpxchg instead of xchg (commit 8270137a0d50507a5b40f880db636527045b8466) this macro is no longer suitable for accessing anything that may be written by other than the local CPU (i.e. anything but the various this_cpu accessors). Shouldn't it therefore get renamed to eg this_cpu_xchg_op()?
