clear_bit(9)

NAME

clear_bit - Clears a bit in memory

SYNOPSIS

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

ARGUMENTS

nr
Bit to clear
addr
Address to start counting from

DESCRIPTION

clear_bit is atomic and may not be reordered. However, it does not contain a memory barrier, so if it is used for locking purposes, you
should call smp_mb__before_clear_bit and/or smp_mb__after_clear_bit in order to ensure changes are visible on other processors.
