- * atomic_inc_not_zero_hint - increment if not null
- * @v: pointer of type atomic_t
- * @hint: probable value of the atomic before the increment
- *
- * This version of atomic_inc_not_zero() gives a hint of probable
- * value of the atomic. This helps processor to not read the memory
- * before doing the atomic read/modify/write cycle, lowering
- * number of bus transactions on some arches.
- *
- * Returns: 0 if increment was not done, 1 otherwise.
