    fs: buffer: do not use unnecessary atomic operations when discarding buffers · e7470ee8
    Mel Gorman authored
    Discarding buffers uses a bunch of atomic operations when discarding
    buffers because ......  I can't think of a reason.  Use a cmpxchg loop to
    clear all the necessary flags.  In most (all?) cases this will be a single
    atomic operations.
