#ifndef _LINUX_U64_STATS_SYNC_H #define _LINUX_U64_STATS_SYNC_H /* * To properly implement 64bits network statistics on 32bit and 64bit hosts, * we provide a synchronization point, that is a noop on 64bit or UP kernels. * * Key points : * 1) Use a seqcount on SMP 32bits, with low overhead. * 2) Whole thing is a noop on 64bit arches or UP kernels. * 3) Write side must ensure mutual exclusion or one seqcount update could * be lost, thus blocking readers forever. * If this synchronization point is not a mutex, but a spinlock or * spinlock_bh() or disable_bh() : * 3.1) Write side should not sleep. * 3.2) Write side should not allow preemption. * 3.3) If applicable, interrupts should be disabled. * * 4) If reader fetches several counters, there is no guarantee the whole values * are consistent (remember point 1) : this is a noop on 64bit arches anyway) * * 5) readers are allowed to sleep or be preempted/interrupted : They perform * pure reads. But if they have to fetch many values, it's better to not allow * preemptions/interruptions to avoid many retries. * * Usage : * * Stats producer (writer) should use following template granted it already got * an exclusive access to counters (a lock is already taken, or per cpu * data is used [in a non preemptable context]) * * spin_lock_bh(...) or other synchronization to get exclusive access * ... * u64_stats_update_begin(&stats->syncp); * stats->bytes64 += len; // non atomic operation * stats->packets64++; // non atomic operation * u64_stats_update_end(&stats->syncp); * * While a consumer (reader) should use following template to get consistent * snapshot for each variable (but no guarantee on several ones) * * u64 tbytes, tpackets; * unsigned int start; * * do { * start = u64_stats_fetch_begin(&stats->syncp); * tbytes = stats->bytes64; // non atomic operation * tpackets = stats->packets64; // non atomic operation * } while (u64_stats_fetch_retry(&stats->lock, syncp)); * * * Example of use in drivers/net/loopback.c, using per_cpu containers, * in BH disabled context. */ #include #if BITS_PER_LONG==32 && defined(CONFIG_SMP) struct u64_stats_sync { seqcount_t seq; }; static void inline u64_stats_update_begin(struct u64_stats_sync *syncp) { write_seqcount_begin(&syncp->seq); } static void inline u64_stats_update_end(struct u64_stats_sync *syncp) { write_seqcount_end(&syncp->seq); } static unsigned int inline u64_stats_fetch_begin(const struct u64_stats_sync *syncp) { return read_seqcount_begin(&syncp->seq); } static bool inline u64_stats_fetch_retry(const struct u64_stats_sync *syncp, unsigned int start) { return read_seqcount_retry(&syncp->seq, start); } #else struct u64_stats_sync { }; static void inline u64_stats_update_begin(struct u64_stats_sync *syncp) { } static void inline u64_stats_update_end(struct u64_stats_sync *syncp) { } static unsigned int inline u64_stats_fetch_begin(const struct u64_stats_sync *syncp) { return 0; } static bool inline u64_stats_fetch_retry(const struct u64_stats_sync *syncp, unsigned int start) { return false; } #endif #endif /* _LINUX_U64_STATS_SYNC_H */
