i'm just curious -- why does that particular header file have that name? its opening comment reads:
* Allows to provide arch independent atomic definitions without the need to * edit all arch specific atomic.h files. but that's *not* what that header file does. rather, it simply defines the "long" form of the atomic operations that can be used *in addition to* the arch-specific ones. wouldn't it make more sense to have called that header file something like "asm-generic/atomic_long.h", so as not to mislead folks into thinking it represented an *alternative* to those other header files? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
