What happens when other cpus update their local counters at (A) and (B)? (I am hoping we don't need percpu_counter_read_accurate anywhere yet and this is just demo ;). I certainly don't want to go on all cpus for read / add cmpxchg on the write path for the proto counters that started this discussion) Thanks, Kiran - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
