/* * Protect against 64-bit values tearing on 32-bit architectures. This is * typically used for statistics read/update in different subsystems. * * Key points : * * - Use a seqcount on 32-bit * - The whole thing is a no-op on 64-bit architectures. * * Usage constraints: * * 1) Write side must ensure mutual exclusion, or one seqcount update could * be lost, thus blocking readers forever. * * 2) Write side must disable preemption, or a seqcount reader can preempt the * writer and also spin forever. * * 3) Write side must use the _irqsave() variant if other writers, or a reader, * can be invoked from an IRQ context. On 64bit systems this variant does not * disable interrupts. * * 4) If reader fetches several counters, there is no guarantee the whole values * are consistent w.r.t. each other (remember point #2: seqcounts are not * used for 64bit architectures). * * 5) Readers are allowed to sleep or be preempted/interrupted: they perform * pure reads. * * Usage : * * Stats producer (writer) should use following template granted it already got * an exclusive access to counters (a lock is already taken, or per cpu * data is used [in a non preemptable context]) * * spin_lock_bh(...) or other synchronization to get exclusive access * ... * u64_stats_update_begin(&stats->syncp); * u64_stats_add(&stats->bytes64, len); // non atomic operation * u64_stats_inc(&stats->packets64); // non atomic operation * u64_stats_update_end(&stats->syncp); * * While a consumer (reader) should use following template to get consistent * snapshot for each variable (but no guarantee on several ones) * * u64 tbytes, tpackets; * unsigned int start; * * do { * start = u64_stats_fetch_begin(&stats->syncp); * tbytes = u64_stats_read(&stats->bytes64); // non atomic operation * tpackets = u64_stats_read(&stats->packets64); // non atomic operation * } while (u64_stats_fetch_retry(&stats->syncp, start)); * * * Example of use in drivers/net/loopback.c, using per_cpu containers, * in BH disabled context.
