[PATCH] mm, list_lru: refactor the locking code
Posted by Kairui Song 6 months, 3 weeks ago 
From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>

Cocci is confused by the try lock then release RCU and return logic
here. So separate the try lock part out into a standalone helper. The
code is easier to follow too.

No feature change, fixes:

I'd prefer 'if (likely(...)) return true;' to reduce indentation and stop
wondering what goes to the likely case earlier.  But that's my personal
preferrence that shouldn't block this.

Much easier to read, indeed :)

And the code readability has also been improved.
