   5 * To properly implement 64bits network statistics on 32bit and 64bit hosts,
   6 * we provide a synchronization point, that is a noop on 64bit or UP kernels.
   7 *
   8 * Key points :
   9 * 1) Use a seqcount on SMP 32bits, with low overhead.
  10 * 2) Whole thing is a noop on 64bit arches or UP kernels.
  11 * 3) Write side must ensure mutual exclusion or one seqcount update could
  12 *    be lost, thus blocking readers forever.
  13 *    If this synchronization point is not a mutex, but a spinlock or
  14 *    spinlock_bh() or disable_bh() :
  15 * 3.1) Write side should not sleep.
  16 * 3.2) Write side should not allow preemption.
  17 * 3.3) If applicable, interrupts should be disabled.
  18 *
  19 * 4) If reader fetches several counters, there is no guarantee the whole values
  20 *    are consistent (remember point 1) : this is a noop on 64bit arches anyway)
  21 *
  22 * 5) readers are allowed to sleep or be preempted/interrupted : They perform
  23 *    pure reads. But if they have to fetch many values, it's better to not allow
  24 *    preemptions/interruptions to avoid many retries.
  25 *
  26 * 6) If counter might be written by an interrupt, readers should block interrupts.
  27 *    (On UP, there is no seqcount_t protection, a reader allowing interrupts could
  28 *     read partial values)
  29 *
  30 * 7) For softirq uses, readers can use u64_stats_fetch_begin_bh() and
  31 *    u64_stats_fetch_retry_bh() helpers
  32 *
  33 * Usage :
  34 *
  35 * Stats producer (writer) should use following template granted it already got
  36 * an exclusive access to counters (a lock is already taken, or per cpu
  37 * data is used [in a non preemptable context])
  38 *
  39 *   spin_lock_bh(...) or other synchronization to get exclusive access
  40 *   ...
  41 *   u64_stats_update_begin(&stats->syncp);
  42 *   stats->bytes64 += len; // non atomic operation
  43 *   stats->packets64++;    // non atomic operation
  44 *   u64_stats_update_end(&stats->syncp);
  45 *
  46 * While a consumer (reader) should use following template to get consistent
  47 * snapshot for each variable (but no guarantee on several ones)
  48 *
  49 * u64 tbytes, tpackets;
  50 * unsigned int start;
  51 *
  52 * do {
  53 *         start = u64_stats_fetch_begin(&stats->syncp);
  54 *         tbytes = stats->bytes64; // non atomic operation
  55 *         tpackets = stats->packets64; // non atomic operation
  56 * } while (u64_stats_fetch_retry(&stats->syncp, start));
  57 *
  58 *
  59 * Example of use in drivers/net/loopback.c, using per_cpu containers,
  60 * in BH disabled context.
