Subject: [PATCH 12/50] fs: rework iput logic
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 16:18:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51eb4b2eef8ee1f7bb4f0974b048dc85452d182d.1755806649.git.josef@toxicpanda.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1755806649.git.josef@toxicpanda.com>
Currently, if we are the last iput, and we have the I_DIRTY_TIME bit
set, we will grab a reference on the inode again and then mark it dirty
and then redo the put. This is to make sure we delay the time update
for as long as possible.
We can rework this logic to simply dec i_count if it is not 1, and if it
is do the time update while still holding the i_count reference.
Then we can replace the atomic_dec_and_lock with locking the ->i_lock
and doing atomic_dec_and_test, since we did the atomic_add_unless above.
This is preparation for no longer allowing 0 i_count inodes to exist.
