Subject: [RFC PATCH] percpu_counters: make fbc->count read atomic on 32 bit architecture
Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 19:04:32 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1219412074-30584-1-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
fbc->count is of type s64. The change was introduced by
0216bfcffe424a5473daa4da47440881b36c1f4 which changed the type
from long to s64. Moving to s64 also means on 32 bit architectures
we can get wrong values on fbc->count.
percpu_counter_read is used within interrupt context also. So
use the irq safe version of spinlock while reading
