Fair enough, I will rename it then.

I see, I didn't think of it to be honest.

Then, the below (completely untested) should the trick:

<----
int stack_depot_print_all_count(char *buf, size_t size, loff_t *pos)
{
int ret = 0, stack_i, table_i;
struct stack_record **stacks, *stack;
unsigned long stack_table_entries = stack_hash_mask + 1;

stack_i = (*pos & 31);
table_i = (*pos >> 32);
new_table:
stacks = &stack_table[table_i];
stack = ((struct stack_record *)stacks) + stack_i;

for (; stack; stack = stack->next, stack_i++) {
if (!stack->size || stack->size < 0 ||
stack->size > size || stack->handle.valid != 1 ||
refcount_read(&stack->count) < 1)
continue;

ret += stack_trace_snprint(buf, size, stack->entries, stack->size, 0);
ret += scnprintf(buf + ret, size - ret, "stack count: %d\n\n",
refcount_read(&stack->count));
*pos |= stack_i;
*pos |= ((long long)table_i << 32);
return ret;
}

table_i++;
/* Keep looking all tables for valid stacks */
if (table_i < stack_table_entries)
goto new_table;

return 0;
}
---->

I will give it a go.

Thanks Marco!
