Subject[PATCH-tip v6 05/22] futex: Add helpers to get & cmpxchg futex value without lock
Date
Two new helper functions cmpxchg_futex_value() and get_futex_value()
are added to access and change the futex value without the hash
bucket lock. As a result, page fault is enabled and the page will
be faulted in if not present yet.
