Currently, trc_wait_for_one_reader() atomically increments the trc_n_readers_need_end counter before sending the IPI invoking trc_read_check_handler(). All failure paths out of trc_read_check_handler() and also from the smp_call_function_single() within trc_wait_for_one_reader() must carefully atomically decrement this counter. This is more complex than it needs to be. This commit therefore simplifies things and saves a few lines of code by dispensing with the atomic decrements in favor of having trc_read_check_handler() do the atomic increment only in the success case. In theory, this represents no change in functionality. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
