Re: [PATCH v13 04/17] preempt: Introduce __preempt_count_{sub, add}_return()

From: Boqun Feng <redacted>

In order to use preempt_count() to tracking the interrupt disable
nesting level, __preempt_count_{add,sub}_return() are introduced, as
their name suggest, these primitives return the new value of the
preempt_count() after changing it. The following example shows the usage
of it in local_interrupt_disable():

	// increase the HARDIRQ_DISABLE bit
	new_count = __preempt_count_add_return(HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET);

	// if it's the first-time increment, then disable the interrupt
	// at hardware level.
	if (new_count & HARDIRQ_DISABLE_MASK == HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET) {
		local_irq_save(flags);
		raw_cpu_write(local_interrupt_disable_state.flags, flags);
	}

Having these primitives will avoid a read of preempt_count() after
changing preempt_count() on certain architectures.
