6 * atomic_inc_not_zero_hint - increment if not null
7 * @v: pointer of type atomic_t
8 * @hint: probable value of the atomic before the increment
9 *
10 * This version of atomic_inc_not_zero() gives a hint of probable
11 * value of the atomic. This helps processor to not read the memory
12 * before doing the atomic read/modify/write cycle, lowering
13 * number of bus transactions on some arches.
14 *
15 * Returns: 0 if increment was not done, 1 otherwise.
