I was mistaken how atomic64_try_cmpxchg(&sk_cookie, &res, new)
is working.
I was assuming @res would contain the final sk_cookie value,
regardless of the success of our cmpxchg()
We could do something like:
if (atomic64_try_cmpxchg(&sk_cookie, &res, new)
res = new;
But we can avoid a conditional and read sk_cookie again.
atomic64_cmpxchg(&sk_cookie, res, new);
res = atomic64_read(&sk_cookie);

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.
