[PATCH 10/10] mbcache: Automatically delete entries from cache on freeing

Jan Kara
2022-06-14T16:06:21Z

Use the fact that entries with elevated refcount are not removed from
the hash and just move removal of the entry from the hash to the entry
freeing time. When doing this we also change the generic code to hold
one reference to the cache entry, not two of them, which makes code
somewhat more obvious.
