[PATCH 2/6] kvfree_rcu: use [READ/WRITE]_ONCE() macros to access to nr_bkv_objs

From: Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)
Date: Wed Apr 14 2021 - 08:12:44 EST


nr_bkv_objs represents the counter of objects in the page-cache.
Accessing to it requires taking the lock. Switch to READ_ONCE()
WRITE_ONCE() macros to provide an atomic access to that counter.
A shrinker is one of the user of it.
