Frequently processors have special lower latency instructions that can operate without the typical synchronization overhead but still provide some sort of relaxed atomicity guarantee. The x86 for example can execute -RMV (Read Modify Write) instructions like inc/dec/cmpxchg without the +RMW (Read Modify Write) instructions like inc/dec/cmpxchg without the lock prefix and the associated latency penalty. Access to the variable without the lock prefix is not synchronized but -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
