The PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED bit is used to provide mutual exclusion of node reclaim for struct pglist_data using a single bit. Use test_and_set_bit_lock rather than test_and_set_bit to test-and-set PGDAT_RECLAIM_LOCKED with an acquire memory ordering semantic. This changes the "lock" acquisition from a full barrier to an acquire memory ordering, which is weaker. The acquire semi-permeable barrier paired with the release on unlock is sufficient for this mutual exclusion use-case. No behavior change intended other than to reduce overhead by using the appropriate barrier.

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 reStructuredText 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.
