Why do you need to disable interupts for atomic_t ?
If you just want to prevent switching CPUs that could be
done with get_cpu(), but alternatively you could just ignore
that race (it wouldn't be a big issue to still increment
the counter on the old CPU)
And why atomic and not just local_t? On x86/x86-64 local_t
would be much cheaper at least. It's not long, but that could
be as well added.
