Subject: why do we need atomic_set_unchecked
Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 00:47:03 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1369640823167-656004.post@n7.nabble.com> (raw)

When i tried to apply the GrSecurity patch on linux kernel 3.10 and there the
patch actually modifies atomic_set to atomic_set_unchecked. When i checked
the gcc patch to compile this code it just redefines atomic_set as
atomic_set_unchecked. So what is the use of changing the function name.?? Am
I missing something here(i.e have they given a new definition for this
function anywhere else). And i would also like to know what this
function(atomic_set_unchecked. I know about the atomic_set function)  is
used for.
