[ Upstream commit 8c62d12740a1450d2e8456d5747f440e10db281a ] svc_destroy() is poorly named - it doesn't necessarily destroy the svc, it might just reduce the ref count. nfsd_destroy() is poorly named for the same reason. This patch: - removes the refcount functionality from svc_destroy(), moving it to a new svc_put(). Almost all previous callers of svc_destroy() now call svc_put(). - renames nfsd_destroy() to nfsd_put() and improves the code, using the new svc_destroy() rather than svc_put() - removes a few comments that explain the important for balanced get/put calls. This should be obvious. The only non-trivial part of this is that svc_destroy() would call svc_sock_update() on a non-final decrement. It can no longer do that, and svc_put() isn't really a good place of it. This call is now made from svc_exit_thread() which seems like a good place. This makes the call *before* sv_nrthreads is decremented rather than after. This is not particularly important as the call just sets a flag which causes sv_nrthreads set be checked later. A subsequent patch will improve the ordering. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
