[PATCH] locking/rtmutex: Use try_cmpxchg_relaxed in mark_rt_mutex_waiters()

From: Uros Bizjak
Date: Wed Jan 24 2024 - 05:50:09 EST


Use try_cmpxchg() instead of cmpxchg(*ptr, old, new) == old.

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.

Note that the value from *ptr should be read using READ_ONCE to prevent
the compiler from merging, refetching or reordering the read.

No functional change intended.
