Stats calculations involve a RMW to add the stat update to the existing
value. This is currently not protected by any synchronization mechanism,
so data races are possible. Add a spinlock to protect the update. The
reader side could be protected using u64_stats, but we would still need
a spinlock for the update side anyway. And we always do an update
immediately before reading the stats anyway.

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 reStructuredText 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.
