[PATCH] mm/vmstat: Use this_cpu_try_cmpxchg in mod_{zone,node}_state

From: Uros Bizjak
Date: Mon Sep 04 2023 - 11:09:32 EST


Use this_cpu_try_cmpxchg instead of this_cpu_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in mod_zone_state and mod_node_state. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and
related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).

Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg
fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.

No functional change intended.
