There are a number of atomic_t usages in the kernel where atomic_t api is used for counting sequence numbers and other statistical counters. Several of these usages, convert atomic_read() and atomic_inc_return() return values to unsigned. Introducing sequence number ops supports these use-cases with a standard core-api. 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. In addition, to supporting sequence number use-cases, Sequence Number Ops helps differentiate atomic_t counter usages from atomic_t usages that guard object lifetimes, hence prone to overflow and underflow errors from up counting use-cases. It becomes 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. Changes since v1: - Removed dec based on Greg KH's comments - Removed read/set/inc based on the discussion with Peter Zijlstra - Interfaces are restricted to init, increment and return new value, and fetch current value. - Interfaces return u32 and u64 - a few reviewers suggested unsigned. After reviewing a few use-cases, I determined this is a good path forward. It adds unsigned atomic support that doesn't exist now, and simplifies code in drivers that currently convert atomic_t return values to unsigned. All the drivers changes included in this series used to convert atomic_t returns to unsigned.
