This patch implements four functions to manipulate deactivation state - deactivate, reactivate and the _self suffixed pair. A new fields kernfs_node->deact_depth is added so that concurrent and nested deactivations are handled properly. kernfs_node->hash is moved so that it's paired with the new field so that it doesn't increase the size of kernfs_node. A kernfs user's lock would normally nest inside active ref but during removal the user may want to perform kernfs_remove() while holding the said lock, which would introduce a reverse locking dependency. This function can be used to break such reverse dependency by allowing deactivation step to performed separately outside user's critical section. This will also be used implement kernfs_remove_self(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> |
