RDS: Use spinlock to protect 64b value update on 32b archs
We have a 64bit value that needs to be set atomically. This is easy and quick on all 64bit archs, and can also be done on x86/32 with set_64bit() (uses cmpxchg8b). However other 32b archs don't have this. I actually changed this to the current state in preparation for mainline because the old way (using a spinlock on 32b) resulted in unsightly #ifdefs in the code. But obviously, being correct takes precedence. Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <andy.grover@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
