This patch reverts commit 7082a29c22ac ("ARC: use ACCESS_ONCE in cmpxchg loop"). It is not necessary to use READ_ONCE() because cmpxchg contains barrier. We can get it from commit d57f727264f1 ("ARC: add compiler barrier to LLSC based cmpxchg"). Signed-off-by: Bang Li <libang.linu...@gmail.com>
Indeed this is not needed. However have you checked the code with and/wo this change to see if it builds the same.
