Subject: atomic64_t proposal
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
Content-Length: 4166
Lines: 129

I'm proposing the creation of an atomic64_t variable, which is a 64-bit
version of atomic_t, and the usage of the __typeof__ keyword in macro versions
of the atomic operations to enable them to operate on either type (atomic_t and
atomic64_t).

I submitted the following patch to David Mosberger to be considered for
inclusion in the IA-64 linux kernel. He suggested that I bring the topic up
on this list so that the other 64-bit platform maintainers can commment.

Thanks,
Dean
