Just a small concern, but it would be nice if you could include the history
of this patch in the changelogs.

I see your counter is an unsigned long.
Then you might prefer to restrict further on 64 bits archs:

#define MAX_UL_INT ~0UL

Which reminds me that you can find this on <linux/kernel.h>:

#define ULONG_MAX        (~0UL)
