Isn't cmpxchg_local for the data which only needs to ensure to do cmpxchg
on local CPU?

So I think it doesn't care about the other CPUs (IOW, it should not touched by
other CPUs), so it only considers UP case. E.g. on x86, arch_cmpxchg_local() is
defined as raw "cmpxchg" without lock prefix.

#define __cmpxchg_local(ptr, old, new, size)                            \
        __raw_cmpxchg((ptr), (old), (new), (size), "")


Thank you,
