__set_bit

Name

__set_bit -- Set a bit in memory

Synopsis

void __set_bit (int nr, volatile void * addr);

Arguments

nr: the bit to set
addr: the address to start counting from

Description

Unlike set_bit, this function is non-atomic and may be reordered. If it's called on the same region of memory simultaneously, the effect may be that only one operation succeeds.
