That last s-o-b was added automatically, by mistake. I'll remove it when
pushing this.
This patch seems trivial to verify, can someone confirm this is right?
/me is about ~94% sure, but doesn't know much about atomic ops and their
return value convention.
I checked the kernel and it does what libdrm does after this patch, so
either one should be fixed; I'm assuming kernel is right and libdrm
needs fixing, hence this patch.
Cheers,
Eric
