From a7d068336197945dc4af65c5973c996e526d51cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 15:05:11 +0000 Subject: [ARM] 3165/1: fix atomic_cmpxchg() implementation for ARMv6+ Patch from Nicolas Pitre If 'old' and 'oldval' are different then 'res' never gets set. In that case, if ever %0 happened to contain anything but zero (rather likely) then the code will loop forever (or until another CPU just come along and change the atomic value to match 'old' which is rather unlikely).
