[v3,1/7] seqnum_ops: Introduce Sequence Number Ops

Sequence Number api provides interfaces for unsigned atomic up counters.

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.

Sequence Number ops provide interfaces to initialize, increment and get
the sequence number. These ops also check for overflow and log message to
indicate when overflow occurs.

What kind of broken garbage is that?

As Peter points out, this is doing doing what you think it is doing :(

Why do you not just have seq->seqnum be a real atomic variable?  Trying
to switch to/from one like this does not work as there is no
"atomic-ness" happening here at all.

Oh, and checkpatch should have complained about the extra ' ' in your
cast :)

thanks,

Yes. This is sloppy on my part. As Peter and Rafael also pointed. I have
to start paying more attention to my inner voice.

What's the end goal with this sequence number type?

Apart from the functional issues with this code already pointed
out, it doesn't seem overly useful to just print the *value* of
the sequence number when it hits the max value.  It might be
more helpful if each instance had a seq->name field that is
used here to tell the user *which* user of sequence numbers
had seen the wrap arounnd.

But that just begs the question of what should users of sequence
numbers do when wrap around occurs? Any user that can run through
sequence numbers at greater than 10 Hz is going to cause a problem
for systems that stay running for years.

Maybe you should force users to code for wraparound by initializing
to something like 0xffffff00 so that they all get a wraparound event
quickly, rather than slowly, (same as was done with jiffies)?

It would be good to convert that to kernel-doc notation.
