Subject: [patch v3 1/3] percpu_counter: fix code for 32bit systems for UP
Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 16:41:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110517084419.440768845@sli10-conroe.sh.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110517084117.572970726@sli10-conroe.sh.intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: percpu-counter-32bits.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1915 bytes --]

percpu_counter.counter is a 's64'. Accessing it in 32-bit system is racing.
we need some locking to protect it otherwise some very wrong value could be
accessed.
