I remember going through all kernel arch headers myself and introduce
irq-off-based xchg and cmpxchg generic implementations for all UP
architectures lacking cmpxchg/xchg instructions.
We might want to consider simply using xchg() here.
FWIW, the API exposed by the Userspace RCU project (liburcu) for this
is:
rcu_xchg_pointer()
Thanks,
Mathieu
