On most platforms, there exists this ifdef: #define atomic_inc_not_zero(v) atomic_add_unless((v), 1, 0) This makes this patch functionally useless. However, on PPC, there is actually an explicit definition of atomic_inc_not_zero with its own assembly that is slightly more optimized than atomic_add_unless. So, this patch changes kref to use atomic_inc_not_zero instead, for PPC and any future platforms that might provide an explicit implementation. This also puts this usage of kref more in line with a verbatim reading of the examples in Paul McKenney's paper [1] in the section titled "2.4 Atomic Counting With Check and Release Memory Barrier", which uses atomic_inc_not_zero.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
