[PATCH] include/linux/types.h: avoid duplicate definition of atomic64_t when 64BIT && GENERIC_ATOMIC64

From: Darius Rad
Date: Mon Aug 25 2014 - 11:33:07 EST


If CONFIG_64BIT and CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 are both y, atomic64_t is
defined in both include/linux/types.h and include/asm-generic/atomic64.h.
Allow the definition in include/asm-generic/atomic64.h to prevail, since
that definition is consistent with the rest of CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64.

It does not appear that this is relevant to architectures that are in the
kernel tree (i.e., no architectures use GENERIC_ATOMIC64 on 64-bit). It
is relevant, however, to certain combinations of options for the RISC-V
architecture currently in development.

Patch generated against 3.17-rc1.
