ms/percpu-refcount: implement percpu_ref_cancel_init()
Patchset description:
Pulling upstream patches converting css refcnt to percpu_ref.
https://jira.sw.ru/browse/PSBM-34174
Kent Overstreet (2):
percpu: implement generic percpu refcounting
percpu-refcount: Don't use silly cmpxchg()
Tejun Heo (9):
percpu-refcount: consistently use plain (non-sched) RCU
percpu-refcount: cosmetic updates
percpu-refcount: add __must_check to percpu_ref_init() and don't use
ACCESS_ONCE() in percpu_ref_kill_rcu()
percpu-refcount: implement percpu_ref_cancel_init()
percpu-refcount: implement percpu_tryget() along with
percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm()
percpu-refcount: use RCU-sched insted of normal RCU
cgroup: reorder the operations in cgroup_destroy_locked()
cgroup: split cgroup destruction into two steps
cgroup: use percpu refcnt for cgroup_subsys_states
===
This patch description:
From: Tejun Heo <tj at kernel.org>
Normally, percpu_ref_init() initializes and percpu_ref_kill()
initiates destruction which completes asynchronously. The
asynchronous destruction can be problematic in init failure path where
the caller wants to destroy half-constructed object - distinguishing
half-constructed objects from the usual release method can be painful
for complex objects.
This patch implements percpu_ref_cancel_init() which synchronously
destroys the percpu_ref without invoking release. To avoid
unintentional misuses, the function requires the ref to have finished
percpu_ref_init() but never used and triggers WARN otherwise.
v2: Explain the weird name and usage restriction in the function
comment.
