Oh well, I am lost. I always considered inline functione better because
of prototype checks.


Changing atomic_read(const atomic_t *v) prototype to
atomic_read(atomic_t *v) is not an option.


To save your time and my time, please select your favorite between :

1) The patch I did

2) 
 static inline int atomic_read(const atomic_t *v)
 {
	return ACCESS_AT_MOST_ONCE(((atomic_t *)v)->counter);
 }

3) 
 static inline int atomic_read(const atomic_t *v)
 {
	return ACCESS_AT_MOST_ONCE(*(int *)&(v)->counter);
 }

4) macro (I personnaly dont like it)
#define atomic_read(v) ACCESS_AT_MOST_ONCE(*(int *)&(v)->counter)

Thanks
