Hmm, ok for test_and_set(), it operates on a long.

cmpxchg() is ok on an int AFAIK. If not we have to make some changes :(

btrfs_orphan_cleanup() for example does this :

if (cmpxchg(&root->orphan_cleanup_state, 0, ORPHAN_CLEANUP_STARTED))
...


Same in build_ehash_secret() (net/ipv4/af_inet.c)

cmpxchg(&inet_ehash_secret, 0, rnd);
