[PATCH v4 03/20] futex: Add helpers to get & cmpxchg futex value without lock

Show all headers | View raw

Two new helper functions cmpxchg_futex_value() and get_futex_value()
are added to access and change the futex value without the hash
bucket lock.  As a result, page fault is enabled and the page will
be faulted in if not present yet.
