Mike,

The clean up doesn’t cause any final instruction change and I have verified that.
The reason I put the fix in last because the Lock field is not needed with the fix but removing the Lock requires to adjust all the hard code offsets.

What potential issue do you see?

Thanks,
Ray

thanks,
ray

Hi Ray,

I really like the cleanup to remove hard coded offsets, but I think that change should be its own patch series.

Can we make the functional change to use XADD as its own patch series before the change to remove hard coded offsets and use struct?

Then have a 2nd patch series that is a non-functional change to remove hard coded offsets and use struct and remove the unused Lock field?

Thanks,

Mike
