From 84e5acb76dacb8ebd648a86a53907ce0dd616534 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2018 14:41:29 -0400 Subject: XArray: Add xa_store_bh() and xa_store_irq() These convenience wrappers disable interrupts while taking the spinlock. A number of drivers would otherwise have to open-code these functions.
