From ab306cae660e524edbeb8889e4e23d3c97717b9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Metcalf Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:46:29 -0400 Subject: arch/tile: use atomic exchange in arch_write_unlock() This idiom is used elsewhere when we do an unlock by writing a zero, but I missed it here. Using an atomic operation avoids waiting on the write buffer for the unlocking write to be sent to the home cache.
