Thank you for advices. This version doesn't use inlined function and adds no overhead in 64bit. Info: res_counter_read_u64 is not frequently called in memcontrol.c now. It's called at user-interface and interaction with other components. This addition of lock will not add any performance troubles. == res_counter_read_u64 reads u64 value without lock. It's dangerous in 32bit environment. This patch adds lock. Changelog: - handle 32/64 bit in other funciton - avoid unnecessary inlining.
