[PATCH v3 02/47] arm_mpam: Use non-atomic bitops when modifying feature bitmap

From: Ben Horgan

Date: Mon Jan 12 2026 - 12:00:01 EST


In the test__props_mismatch() kunit test we rely on the struct mpam_props
being packed to ensure memcmp doesn't consider packing. Making it packed
reduces the alignment of the features bitmap and so breaks a requirement
for the use of atomics. As we don't rely on the set/clear of these bits
being atomic, just make them non-atomic.
