It also solidifies that we are moving from one counter to the next.
(There must be some common 64b cmpxchg for doing that!) Going from +1
locked operations to +2 here isn't the end of the world, but I can
certainly appreciated trying to keep the number down (especially for aux
information like stats).
now = atomic64_read(&stats.queued_runnable);
do {
old = now;
new_queued = upper_32_bits(old) - 1;
new_runnable = lower_32_bits(old) + 1;
now = atomic64_cmpxchg(&stats.queued_runnable,
old, (new_runnable | (u64)new_queued << 32));
} while (now != old);
Downside being that we either then use atomic64 throughout or we mix
atomic32/atomic64 knowing that we're on x86. (I feel like someone else
must have solved this problem in a much neater way, before they went to
per-cpu stats ;)
