From f009a7a767e792d5ab0b46c08d46236ea5271dd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2016 15:38:00 +0100 Subject: timers/nohz: Convert tick dependency mask to atomic_t The tick dependency mask was intially unsigned long because this is the type on which clear_bit() operates on and fetch_or() accepts it. But now that we have atomic_fetch_or(), we can instead use atomic_andnot() to clear the bit. This consolidates the type of our tick dependency mask, reduce its size on structures and benefit from possible architecture optimizations on atomic_t operations.
