[PATCH v2 4/6] net: mdiobus: Disable preemption upon u64_stats update

From: Ahmed S. Darwish
Date: Wed Jun 03 2020 - 10:50:53 EST


The u64_stats mechanism uses sequence counters to protect against 64-bit
values tearing on 32-bit architectures. Updating u64_stats is thus a
sequence counter write side critical section where preemption must be
disabled.

For mdiobus_stats_acct(), disable preemption upon the u64_stats update.
It is called from process context through mdiobus_read() and
mdiobus_write().
