From 37682177af68478fa83429b735fa16913c2fbb2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Fritzsche Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 14:33:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] asm-generic: don't warn that atomic_t is only 24 bit 32-bit Sparc used to only allow usage of 24-bit of it's atomic_t type. This was corrected with linux 2.6.3 when Keith M Wesolowski changed the implementation to use the parisc approach of having an array of spinlocks to protect the atomic_t. These warnings were also removed from the sparc implementation when the new implementation was merged in BKrev:402e4949VThdc6D3iaosSFUgabMfvw, but the warning still remained in some other places without any 24-bit-only atomic_t implementation inside the kernel. We should remove these warnings to allow users to rely on the full 32-bit range of atomic_t.
