From bbf3f8cbdc139860a14c4fc2bb25432427045aaa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2013 17:42:24 -0400 Subject: dm stats: fix possible counter corruption on 32-bit systems There was a deliberate race condition in dm_stat_for_entry() to avoid the overhead of disabling and enabling interrupts. The race could result in some events not being counted on 64-bit architectures. However, on 32-bit architectures, operations on long long variables are not atomic, so the race condition could cause the counter to jump by 2^32. Such jumps could be disruptive, so we need to do proper locking on 32-bit architectures. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Cc: Alasdair G.
