Both recompress and writeback soon will unlock slots during processing, which makes things too complex wrt possible race-conditions. We still want to clear PP_SLOT in slot_free, because this is how we figure out that slot that was selected for post-processing has been released under us and when we start post-processing we check if slot still has PP_SLOT set. At the same time, theoretically, we can have something like this: CPU0 CPU1 recompress scan slots set PP_SLOT unlock slot slot_free clear PP_SLOT allocate PP_SLOT writeback scan slots set PP_SLOT unlock slot select PP-slot test PP_SLOT So recompress will not detect that slot has been re-used and re-selected for concurrent writeback post-processing. Make sure that we only permit on post-processing operation at a time. So now recompress and writeback post-processing don't race against each other, we only need to handle slot re-use (slot_free and write), which is handled individually by each pp operation. Having recompress and writeback competing for the same slots is not exactly good anyway (can't imagine anyone doing that).
