      net: Introduce u64_stats_sync infrastructure · 16b8a476
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      To properly implement 64bits network statistics on 32bit or 64bit hosts,
      we provide one new type and four methods, to ease conversions.
      
      Stats producer should use following template granted it already got an
      exclusive access to counters (include/linux/u64_stats_sync.h contains
      some documentation about details)
      
          u64_stats_update_begin(&stats->syncp);
          stats->bytes64 += len;
          stats->packets64++;
          u64_stats_update_end(&stats->syncp);
      
      While a consumer should use following template to get consistent
      snapshot :
      
          u64 tbytes, tpackets;
          unsigned int start;
      
          do {
              start = u64_stats_fetch_begin(&stats->syncp);
              tbytes = stats->bytes64;
              tpackets = stats->packets64;
          } while (u64_stats_fetch_retry(&stats->lock, syncp));
