[PATCH RT 1/4] u64_stats: provide u64_stats_t type

From: zanussi
Date: Mon Mar 03 2025 - 17:53:30 EST


From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

v5.4.290-rt96-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

-----------


[ Upstream commit 316580b69d0a7aeeee5063af47438b626bc47cbd ]

On 64bit arches, struct u64_stats_sync is empty and provides
no help against load/store tearing.

Using READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() would be needed.

But the update side would be slightly more expensive.

local64_t was defined so that we could use regular adds
in a manner which is atomic wrt IRQs.

However the u64_stats infra means we do not have to use
local64_t on 32bit arches since the syncp provides the needed
protection.
