      SUNRPC: Use atomic(64)_t for seq_send(64) · c3be6577
      Paul Burton authored
      The seq_send & seq_send64 fields in struct krb5_ctx are used as
      atomically incrementing counters. This is implemented using cmpxchg() &
      cmpxchg64() to implement what amount to custom versions of
      atomic_fetch_inc() & atomic64_fetch_inc().
      
      Besides the duplication, using cmpxchg64() has another major drawback in
      that some 32 bit architectures don't provide it. As such commit
      571ed1fd ("SUNRPC: Replace krb5_seq_lock with a lockless scheme")
      resulted in build failures for some architectures.
      
      Change seq_send to be an atomic_t and seq_send64 to be an atomic64_t,
      then use atomic(64)_* functions to manipulate the values. The atomic64_t
      type & associated functions are provided even on architectures which
      lack real 64 bit atomic memory access via CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 which
      uses spinlocks to serialize access. This fixes the build failures for
      architectures lacking cmpxchg64().
      
      A potential alternative that was raised would be to provide cmpxchg64()
      on the 32 bit architectures that currently lack it, using spinlocks.
      However this would provide a version of cmpxchg64() with semantics a
      little different to the implementations on architectures with real 64
      bit atomics - the spinlock-based implementation would only work if all
      access to the memory used with cmpxchg64() is *always* performed using
      cmpxchg64(). That is not currently a requirement for users of
      cmpxchg64(), and making it one seems questionable. As such avoiding
      cmpxchg64() outside of architecture-specific code seems best,
      particularly in cases where atomic64_t seems like a better fit anyway.
      
      The CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 implementation of atomic64_* functions will
      use spinlocks & so faces the same issue, but with the key difference
      that the memory backing an atomic64_t ought to always be accessed via
      the atomic64_* functions anyway making the issue moot.
