No, you misunderstand what I meant.

Just use "atomic_long_t" in the module code.

But then the debugfs code should do

        debugfs_create_ulong(... &val->counter ..);

to expose said atomic_long values.

No need for new debugfs interfaces.

Because "atomic_long" is just a regular "long" as far as plain
read/set operations are concerned - which is all that the debugfs code
does anyway.

So I think you can do something like

  atomic_long_t total_mod_size;

   ...

  debugfs_create_ulong("total_mod_size",
       0400, mod_debugfs_root,
       &total_mod_size.counter);

but I didn't actually try to compile that kind of version.

(I think "counter" is actually a _signed_ long, so maybe the types don't match).
