An advantage of retaining a spinlock in percpu_counter is that if accuracy
is needed at a low rate (say, /proc reading) we can take the lock and then
go spill each CPU's local count into the main one. It would need to be a
very low rate though. Or we make the cpu-local counters atomic too.
We might use atomic_long_t only (and no spinlocks)
Yup, that's it.
Something like this ?
It'd be a lot neater if we had atomic_long_xchg().
You are my guest :)
