Hi, This patch tries to avoid some sparse warnings related to refcount_dec_and_lock() and kref_put_lock().
I send this patch series as RFC because it was necessary to do a kref change after adding __cond_lock() to refcount_dec_and_lock() functionality. For me it looks like we do a lot of acrobatics to avoid sparse warnings here and I really don't know if it's worth the offer. However this is what I have now... - Alex Alexander Aring (2): refcount: add __cond_lock() for conditional lock refcount API kref: move kref_put_lock() callback to caller include/linux/kref.h | 24 ++++++++---------------- include/linux/refcount.h | 21 ++++++++++++++++----- lib/refcount.c | 23 ++++++++++++----------- 3 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) -- 2.31.1
