The purpose of these Sequence Number Ops is to clearly differentiate atomic_t counter usages from atomic_t usages that guard object lifetimes, hence prone to overflow and underflow errors. The atomic_t api provides a wide range of atomic operations as a base api to implement atomic counters, bitops, spinlock interfaces. The usages also evolved into being used for resource lifetimes and state management. The refcount_t api was introduced to address resource lifetime problems related to atomic_t wrapping. There is a large overlap between the atomic_t api used for resource lifetimes and just counters, stats, and sequence numbers. It has become difficult to differentiate between the atomic_t usages that should be converted to refcount_t and the ones that can be left alone. Introducing seqnum_ops to wrap the usages that are stats, counters, sequence numbers makes it easier for tools that scan for underflow and overflow on atomic_t usages to detect overflow and underflows to scan just the cases that are prone to errors. Sequence Number api provides interfaces for simple atomic_t counter usages that just count, and don't guard resource lifetimes. The seqnum_ops are built on top of atomic_t api, providing a smaller subset of atomic_t interfaces necessary to support atomic_t usages as simple counters. This api has init/set/inc/dec/read and doesn't support any other atomic_t ops with the intent to restrict the use of these interfaces as simple counting usages. Sequence Numbers wrap around to INT_MIN when it overflows and should not be used to guard resource lifetimes, device usage and open counts that control state changes, and pm states. Overflowing to INT_MIN is consistent with the atomic_t api, which it is built on top of. Using seqnum to guard lifetimes could lead to use-after free when it overflows and undefined behavior when used to manage state changes and device usage/open states. In addition this patch series converts a few drivers to use the new api. The following criteria is used for select variables for conversion: 1. Variable doesn't guard object lifetimes, manage state changes e.g: device usage counts, device open counts, and pm states. 2. Variable is used for stats and counters. 3. The conversion doesn't change the overflow behavior. 4. Note: inc_return() usages are changed to _inc() followed by _read() Patches: 03/13, 04/13, 09/13, 10/13, 11/13 5. drivers/acpi and drivers/acpi/apei patches have been reviewed before the rename, however in addition to rename, inc_return() usages are changed to _inc() followed by _read() 6. test_async_driver_probe, char/ipmi, and edac patches have been reviewed and no changes other than the rename to seqnum_ops. 7. security/integrity/ima: Okay to depend on CONFIG_64BIT? The work for this is a follow-on to the discussion and review of Introduce Simple atomic counters patch series: //lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1602209970.git.skhan@linuxfoundation.org/ Based on the feedback to restrict and limit the scope: - dropped inc_return() - renamed interfaces to match the intent and also shorten the interface names.
