From 81c173cb5e87fbb47ccd80630faefe39bbf68449 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2014 14:03:00 -0500 Subject: kernfs: remove KERNFS_REMOVED KERNFS_REMOVED is used to mark half-initialized and dying nodes so that they don't show up in lookups and deny adding new nodes under or renaming it; however, its role overlaps that of deactivation. It's necessary to deny addition of new children while removal is in progress; however, this role considerably intersects with deactivation - KERNFS_REMOVED prevents new children while deactivation prevents new file operations. There's no reason to have them separate making things more complex than necessary. This patch removes KERNFS_REMOVED. * Instead of KERNFS_REMOVED, each node now starts its life deactivated. This means that we now use both atomic_add() and atomic_sub() on KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS, which is INT_MIN. The compiler generates an overflow warnings when negating INT_MIN as the negation can't be represented as a positive number. Nothing is actually broken but let's bump BIAS by one to avoid the warnings for archs which negates the subtrahend.. * A new helper kernfs_active() which tests whether kn->active >= 0 is added for convenience and lockdep annotation. All KERNFS_REMOVED tests are replaced with negated kernfs_active() tests. * __kernfs_remove() is updated to deactivate, but not drain, all nodes in the subtree instead of setting KERNFS_REMOVED. This removes deactivation from kernfs_deactivate(), which is now renamed to kernfs_drain(). * Sanity check on KERNFS_REMOVED in kernfs_put() is replaced with checks on the active ref. * Some comment style updates in the affected area. v2: Reordered before removal path restructuring. kernfs_active() dropped and kernfs_get/put_active() used instead. RB_EMPTY_NODE() used in the lookup paths. v3: Reverted most of v2 except for creating a new node with KN_DEACTIVATED_BIAS.
