I don=E2=80=99t think you can do that.

arm < v6 is special. The CPUs don=E2=80=99t have atomic operations. In =
the kernel,
we disable interrupts and do the op. You can=E2=80=99t do that in user =
land. Instead,
you have to use RAS (Restartable Atomic Sequences) and have the kernel
grok the RAS. Thankfully, the RAS support in the kernel is just the R in =
that.
But it does mean that we=E2=80=99ll have some work to do this properly.

I=E2=80=99m not entirely sure that your =E2=80=98fix=E2=80=99 makes =
things actually safe, even if it
seems to make them work today. I=E2=80=99ll have to study it more =
closely.
