[PATCH] refcount: always allow checked forms

From: Mark Rutland
Date: Tue Jul 03 2018 - 06:01:13 EST


In many cases, it would be useful to be able to use the full
sanity-checked refcount helpers regardless of CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL, as
this would help to avoid duplicate warnings where callers try to
sanity-check refcount manipulation.

This patch refactors things such that the full refcount helpers were
always built, as refcount_${op}_checked(), such that they can be used
regardless of CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL. This will allow code which *always*
wants a checked refcount to opt-in, avoiding the need to duplicate the
logic for warnings.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Dave pointed out that it would be useful to be able to opt-in to full checks
regardless of CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL, so that we can simplify callsites where we
always want checks. I've spotted a few of these in code which is still awaiting
conversion.

I'm assuming that the atomics group is intended to own the refcount code, even
though this isn't currently the case in MAINTAINERS.

Mark.
