Subject: locking/atomic: Introduce atomic_fetch_or()
X-Git-Tag: v4.6-rc2~2^2~6
X-Git-Url: https://git.kernel.dk/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5acba71e18833b9d06686b3751598bfa263a3ac3;p=linux-2.6-block.git

locking/atomic: Introduce atomic_fetch_or()

This is deemed to replace the type generic fetch_or() which brings a lot
of issues such as macro induced block variable aliasing and sloppy types.
Not to mention fetch_or() doesn't refer to any namespace, adding even
more confusion.

So lets provide an atomic_t version. Current and next users of fetch_or()
are thus encouraged to use atomic_t.
