Thanks for those changes. I see one issue below (instantiated a few times), but
other than that this looks good to me.

This should be arch_atomic64_read(v), in order to avoid the potential for the
compiler to replay the access and introduce ABA races and other such problems.

For details, see:

I see that the generic 32-bit atomic code suffers from that issue, and we
should fix it.

Likewise, arch_atomic64_read(v) here.

Otherwise, the atomics look good to me.

Thanks,
