Subject: [PATCH 36/39] hypfs: don't pin dentries twice
Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2025 08:47:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250920074759.3564072-36-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250920074759.3564072-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
hypfs dentries end up with refcount 2 when they are not busy.
Refcount 1 is enough to keep them pinned, and going that way
allows to simplify things nicely:
* don't need to drop an extra reference before the
call of kill_litter_super() in ->kill_sb(); all we need
there is to reset the cleanup list - everything on it will
be taken out automatically.
* we can make use of simple_recursive_removal() on
tree rebuilds; just make sure that only children of root
end up in the cleanup list and hypfs_delete_tree() becomes
much simpler
