Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 1/3] ns: add __ns_ref_read()
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 16:36:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916203656.2689289-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026091657-curry-myself-be92@gregkh>

From: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 6b053576edb12c7739ea9c7c9900031361922631 ]

Implement ns_ref_read() the same way as ns_ref_{get,put}().
No point in making that any more special or different from the other
helpers.
