[PATCH net-next v2 06/21] rxrpc: Remove atomic handling on some fields only used in I/O thread

From: David Howells
Date: Mon Mar 04 2024 - 03:45:36 EST


call->tx_transmitted and call->acks_prev_seq don't need to be managed with
cmpxchg() and barriers as it's only used within the singular I/O thread.
