It is. Worth to split on the second patch or keep callers changes in
this patch?

Sure.

Ok, will change - checkpatch has warned me, but I thought it's just a
preference than a rule.

No, I do:
atomic_add_unless(&rs->missed, 1, -1);

So, it's guard against overflow, but not against negative.
That's why I do print it as unsigned.
