[merged mm-nonmm-stable] ucount-use-rcu-for-ucounts-lookups.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: ucount: use RCU for ucounts lookups
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ucount-use-rcu-for-ucounts-lookups.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: ucount: use RCU for ucounts lookups
Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2025 16:05:24 +0100

The ucounts element is looked up under ucounts_lock.  This can be
optimized by using RCU for a lockless lookup and return and element if the
reference can be obtained.

Replace hlist_head with hlist_nulls_head which is RCU compatible.  Let
find_ucounts() search for the required item within a RCU section and
return the item if a reference could be obtained.  This means
alloc_ucounts() will always return an element (unless the memory
allocation failed).  Let put_ucounts() RCU free the element if the
reference counter dropped to zero.
