Hi Mark,

I checked xchg(), __xchg(), and cmpxchg() in all
arch/*/include/asm/cmpxchg.h. They are use static inline
functions or statement expressions so I don't see any need
for follow-ups to fix warnings like this (old) one, which
I cannot cause with your series applied:

However, something in arch/arc/ did look suspicious so I decided to
try an ARC allmodconfig build, where I did see a few errors FYI:


CC drivers/iommu/io-pgtable-arm.o
In file included from ../include/linux/atomic.h:80,
