Subject: dynticks: Remove atomic ops for dynticks_idle
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2014 10:18:31 -0500 (CDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.11.1409041016410.4565@gentwo.org> (raw)

This is on top of the first patch (but still not against your tree). I
wonder what you think about this one. No special operations.


Since dynticks_idle is only ever modified by the local cpu we do
not need to use atomics there.
