[PATCH] elevator: define ioc counting mechanism
None of the in-kernel primitives for handling "atomic" counting seem to be a good fit. We need something that is essentially free for incrementing/decrementing, while the read side may be more expensive as we only ever need to do that when a device is removed from the kernel. Use a per-cpu variable for maintaining a per-cpu ioc count and define a reading mechanism that just sums up the values. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
