The low order bits are 14 * designated to hold an error code (between 0 and -MAX_ERRNO). The upper bits 15 * are used as a counter. This is done with atomics instead of locking so that 16 * these functions can be called from any context. 17 * 18 * The general idea is for consumers to sample an errseq_t value. That value 19 * can later be used to tell whether any new errors have occurred since that 20 * sampling was done. 21 * 22 * Note that there is a risk of collisions if new errors are being recorded 23 * frequently, since we have so few bits to use as a counter. 24 * 25 * To mitigate this, one bit is used as a flag to tell whether the value has 26 * been sampled since a new value was recorded. That allows us to avoid bumping 27 * the counter if no one has sampled it since the last time an error was 28 * recorded. 29 * 30 * A new errseq_t should always be zeroed out. A errseq_t value of all zeroes 31 * is the special (but common) case where there has never been an error. An all 32 * zero value thus serves as the "epoch" if one wishes to know whether there 33 * has ever been an error set since it was first initialized. 34 */ 35 36/* The low bits are designated for error code (max of MAX_ERRNO) */ 37#define ERRSEQ_SHIFT ilog2(MAX_ERRNO + 1) 38 39/* This bit is used as a flag to indicate whether the value has been seen */ 40#define ERRSEQ_SEEN (1 << ERRSEQ_SHIFT) 41 42/* The lowest bit of the counter */ 43#define ERRSEQ_CTR_INC (1 << (ERRSEQ_SHIFT + 1)) 44 45/** 46 * errseq_set - set a errseq_t for later reporting 47 * @eseq: errseq_t field that should be set 48 * @err: error to set (must be between -1 and -MAX_ERRNO) 49 * 50 * This function sets the error in @eseq, and increments the sequence counter 51 * if the last sequence was sampled at some point in the past. 52 * 53 * Any error set will always overwrite an existing error. 54 * 55 * Return: The previous value, primarily for debugging purposes.
