6 * This is an implementation of the notion of "decrement a
7 * reference count, and return locked if it decremented to zero".
9 * NOTE NOTE NOTE! This is _not_ equivalent to
11 * if (atomic_dec_and_test(&atomic)) {
12 * spin_lock(&lock);
13 * return 1;
14 * }
15 * return 0;
17 * because the spin-lock and the decrement must be
18 * "atomic".
