From 199e23780a7e75c63a9e3d1108804e3af450ea3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2009 13:02:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86: atomic64: Fix unclean type use in atomic64_xchg() Linus noticed that atomic64_xchg() uses atomic_read(), which happens to work because atomic_read() is a macro so the .counter value gets u64-read on 32-bit too - but this is really bogus and serious bugs are waiting to happen. Fix atomic64_xchg() to use __atomic64_read() instead.
