Linux kernel source tree

xrs700x_read_port_counters() updates the stats from a worker using the
u64_stats_update_begin() version. This is okay on 32-UP since on the
reader side preemption is disabled.
On 32bit-SMP the writer can be preempted by the reader at which point
the reader will spin on the seqcount until writer continues and
completes the update.
Assigning the mib_mutex mutex to the underlying seqcount would ensure
proper synchronisation. The API for that on the u64_stats_init() side
isn't available. Since it is the only user, just use disable interrupts
during the update.
Use u64_stats_update_begin_irqsave() on the writer side to ensure an
uninterrupted update.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
