Are the percpu atomics you have in mind different from what is found in
Documentation/core-api/this_cpu_ops.rst ?
Namely this_cpu_add_return(pcp, val) in this case.
I must be missing something subtle because AFAIU those are already
available. Those per-cpu atomics don't provide any memory ordering
though, which may be why those are not used here.
Thanks,
Mathieu
