A lot of ->destroy_inode() instances end with call_rcu() of a callback that does RCU-delayed part of freeing. Introduce a new method for doing just that, with saner signature. Rules: ->destroy_inode ->free_inode f g immediate call of f(), RCU-delayed call of g() f NULL immediate call of f(), no RCU-delayed calls NULL g RCU-delayed call of g() NULL NULL RCU-delayed default freeing IOW, NULL ->free_inode gives the same behaviour as now. Note that NULL, NULL is equivalent to NULL, free_inode_nonrcu; we could mandate the latter form, but that would have very little benefit beyond making rules a bit more symmetric. It would break backwards compatibility, require extra boilerplate and expected semantics for (NULL, NULL) pair would have no use whatsoever... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |
