Subject: [patch] mm: page lock use lock bitops
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:28:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080818122818.GC9062@wotan.suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080818122428.GA9062@wotan.suse.de>

mm: use lock bitops for page lock

trylock_page, unlock_page open and close a critical section. Hence,
we can use the lock bitops to get the desired memory ordering.

Also, mark trylock as likely to succeed (and remove the annotation from
callers).
