[ Upstream commit 504e08cebe1d4e1efe25f915234f646e74a364a8 ] If refcount is less than 1, we should just warn, unlock dentry and return true, so that the caller doesn't try to do anything else. Taking care of that leaves the rest of "lockref_put_return() has failed" case equivalent to "decrement refcount and rejoin the normal slow path after the point where we grab ->d_lock". NOTE: lockref_put_return() is strictly a fastpath thing - unlike the rest of lockref primitives, it does not contain a fallback. Caller (and it looks like fast_dput() is the only legitimate one in the entire kernel) has to do that itself. Reasons for lockref_put_return() failures: * ->d_lock held by somebody * refcount <= 0 * ... or an architecture not supporting lockref use of cmpxchg - sparc, anything non-SMP, config with spinlock debugging... We could add a fallback, but it would be a clumsy API - we'd have to distinguish between: (1) refcount > 1 - decremented, lock not held on return (2) refcount < 1 - left alone, probably no sense to hold the lock (3) refcount is 1, no cmphxcg - decremented, lock held on return (4) refcount is 1, cmphxcg supported - decremented, lock *NOT* held on return. We want to return with no lock held in case (4); that's the whole point of that thing. We very much do not want to have the fallback in case (3) return without a lock, since the caller might have to retake it in that case. So it wouldn't be more convenient than doing the fallback in the caller and it would be very easy to screw up, especially since the test coverage would suck - no way to test (3) and (4) on the same kernel build.

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.
