I'm not sure ulong is the best choice here. Atomic reads on 32bit are
nice but people often need 64bit counters for stats. It probably is a
better idea to use u64_stats_sync.
Got that, will incorporate 64-bit counter support for 32-bit architecture.
+/*

Proper function description please.
Sure. Will do that for all the functions.

Why is this function inline?
It doesn't need to be inlined, but I need to add a lib/percpu_stats.c
file to hold the function which I will do in my v2 patch.

I don't think this is acceptable.
I am not sure what you mean here by not acceptable. Please enlighten me
on that.

Why inline the above functions?
Will move this function to lib/percpu_stats.c.
+static inline void
+__percpu_stats_add(struct percpu_stats *pcs, int stat, int cnt)
+{
+ unsigned long *pstat;
+
+ if ((unsigned int)stat>= pcs->nstats)
+ return;
This is a critical bug. Please don't fail silently. BUG_ON(),
please.
Sure.
+ preempt_disable();
+ pstat = this_cpu_ptr(&pcs->stats[stat]);
+ *pstat += cnt;
+ preempt_enable();
+}
this_cpu_add() is atomic w.r.t. local operations.
Will use this_cpu_add().
+static inline unsigned long
+percpu_stats_sum(struct percpu_stats *pcs, int stat)

+ return sum;
Ditto.
+ for_each_possible_cpu(cpu)
+ sum += per_cpu(pcs->stats[stat], cpu);
+ return sum;
+}
Thanks.
Cheers,
