The icount_read_once() stuff lines up with inode_state_read_once().
The prefix is different but I opted to not change it due to igrab(),
ihold() et al.
There is a future-proofing change in iput_final(). I am not going to
strongly insist on it, but at the very least the problem needs to be
noted in a comment.
Finally, igrab() gets lockless treatment. I verified btrfs likes to call
into it in writeback code with the count > 1, same with procfs during
process reaping. Grep shows nfs also calls there, but I have not checked
how often that happens. This is a minor single-threaded speed up at
least as a lock trip is avoided in the common case.
Mateusz Guzik (5):
fs: add icount_read_once()
Use icount_read() and icount_read_once() as appropriate.
fs: enforce locking in icount_read(), add some commentary
fs: handle hypothetical filesystems hich use I_DONTCACHE and drop the
lock in ->drop_inode
fs: locklessly bump refs in igrab as long as it does not transition
