From 20b876918c065818b3574a426d418f68b4f8ad19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 10:28:45 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] irq_work: Use per cpu atomics instead of regular atomics The irq work queue is a per cpu object and it is sufficient for synchronization if per cpu atomics are used. Doing so simplifies the code and reduces the overhead of the code.
