| |
When i tried to apply the GrSecurity patch on linux kernel 3.10 and there the patch actually modifies atomic_set to atomic_set_unchecked. When i checked the gcc patch to compile this code it just redefines atomic_set as atomic_set_unchecked. So what is the use of changing the function name.?? Am I missing something here(i.e have they given a new definition for this function anywhere else). And i would also like to know what this function(atomic_set_unchecked. I know about the atomic_set function) is used for.
