use_pde() is used at every open/read/write/... of every random /proc file. Negative refcount happens only if PDE is being deleted by module (read: never). So it gets "likely". unuse_pde() gets "unlikely" for the same reason. close_pdeo() gets unlikely as the completion is filled only if there is a race between PDE removal and close() (read: never ever). It even saves code on x86_64 defconfig: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/2 up/down: 2/-20 (-18) Function old new delta close_pdeo 183 185 +2 proc_reg_get_unmapped_area 119 111 -8 proc_reg_poll 85 73 -12 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180104175657.GA5204@avx2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
