sysfs: slim down sysfs_dirent->s_active
Make sysfs_dirent->s_active an atomic_t instead of rwsem. This reduces the size of sysfs_dirent from 136 to 104 on 64bit and from 76 to 60 on 32bit with lock debugging turned off. With lock debugging turned on the reduction is much larger. s_active starts at zero and each active reference increments s_active. Putting a reference decrements s_active. Deactivation subtracts SD_DEACTIVATED_BIAS which is currently INT_MIN and assumed to be small enough to make s_active negative. If s_active is negative, sysfs_get() no longer grants new references. Deactivation succeeds immediately if there is no active user; otherwise, it waits using a completion for the last put. Due to the removal of lockdep tricks, this change makes things less trickier in release_sysfs_dirent(). As all the complexity is contained in three s_active functions, I think it's more readable this way. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
