Subject: [PATCH v2 40/50] hypfs: don't pin dentries twice
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:45:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251028004614.393374-41-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251028004614.393374-1-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
