Subject[PATCH] fs: inode.c use atomic_inc_return in __iget
From
Date
Using atomic_inc_return in __iget(struct inode *inode) makes the intent
of this code clearer and generates less code on processors that have
this operation.

On x86_64 this patch reduces the text size of inode.o by 12 bytes.


Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk>

----
patch against 2.6.34-rc7
compiled & tested on x86_64 AMD X2

I've been running with this patch applied for several weeks with no
obvious problems.
regards
Richard
