[PATCH v7 2/4] spinlock: Enable x86 architecture to do lockless refcount update

From: Waiman Long
Date: Mon Aug 05 2013 - 23:14:14 EST


This patch enables the x86 architecture to do lockless reference
count update using the generic lockref implementation with default
parameters. Only the x86/Kconfig file needs to be changed.
