Patch series "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests",
v2.
De-duplicating this lets us delete a bit of code.
Ulterior motive: I'm working on a new set of the userspace-based unit
tests, which will need the atomics API too. That would involve even more
duplication, so while the win in this patchset alone is very minimal, it
looks a lot more significant with my other WIP patchset.
I've tested these commands:
make -C tools/testing/vma -j
tools/testing/vma/vma
make -C tools/testing/radix-tree -j
tools/testing/radix-tree/maple
Note the EXTRA_CFLAGS patch is actually orthogonal, let me know if you'd
prefer I send it separately.
This patch (of 4):
The VMA tests need an operation equivalent to atomic_inc_unless_negative()
to implement a fake mapping_map_writable(). Adding it will enable them to
switch to the shared atomic headers and simplify that fake implementation.
In order to add that, also add atomic_try_cmpxchg() which can be used to
implement it. This is copied from Documentation/atomic_t.txt. Then,
implement atomic_inc_unless_negative() itself based on the
raw_atomic_dec_unless_positive() in
include/linux/atomic/atomic-arch-fallback.h.
There's no present need for a highly-optimised version of this (nor any
reason to think this implementation is sub-optimal on x86) so just
implement this with generic C, no x86-specifics.
