Subject: fs/ext4: use try_cmpxchg in ext4_update_bh_state
Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2022 08:11:47 +0100

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old in ext4_update_bh_state. 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.

No functional change intended.
