It is another atomic (memory barrier) read each time through the loop.
But the expect usual case will be the uncontested case - a drop through.
It would only show up in heavily contested situations -
this is another variation that removes the unnecessary read
but retains the programming structure:and naming:
+static inline void update_used_max(struct zram *zram, const unsigned
long pages)
+{
+ u64 old_max, cur_max;
+
+ old_max = atomic64_read(&zram->stats.max_used_pages);
+ do {
+ cur_max = old_max;
+ if (pages > cur_max)
+ old_max = atomic64_cmpxchg(&zram->stats.max_used_pages,
+ cur_max, pages);
+ } while (old_max != cur_max);
+}
