No need to atomically set VO bit in post_alloc? #1156

Open qinsoon opened 5 months ago

qinsoon commented 5 months ago

For allocators that have its allocation buffer, it seems unnecesary to set VO bit atomically.

That's right. It should include all bump-pointer allocators and the native MarkSweep, too (because each thread allocates in its own block).
