The inline asm retry check in the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the sysmips system call has been backwards since commitf1e39a4a61("MIPS: Rewrite sysmips(MIPS_ATOMIC_SET, ...) in C with inline assembler") merged in v2.6.32, resulting in the non R10000_LLSC_WAR case retrying until the operation was inatomic, before returning the new value that was probably just written multiple times instead of the old value. Invert the branch condition to fix that particular issue.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
