From 6a6d7602caec1b49dda423b0d15a8c4f72c9c73d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Uros Bizjak Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2022 16:52:26 +0200 Subject: llist: avoid extra memory read in llist_add_batch try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old head->first value to "first" when cmpxchg fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.
