7 * Initially, a percpu refcount is just a set of percpu counters. Initially, we
8 * don't try to detect the ref hitting 0 - which means that get/put can just
9 * increment or decrement the local counter. Note that the counter on a
10 * particular cpu can (and will) wrap - this is fine, when we go to shutdown the
11 * percpu counters will all sum to the correct value
13 * (More precisely: because moduler arithmatic is commutative the sum of all the
14 * pcpu_count vars will be equal to what it would have been if all the gets and
15 * puts were done to a single integer, even if some of the percpu integers
16 * overflow or underflow).
18 * The real trick to implementing percpu refcounts is shutdown. We can't detect
19 * the ref hitting 0 on every put - this would require global synchronization
20 * and defeat the whole purpose of using percpu refs.
22 * What we do is require the user to keep track of the initial refcount; we know
23 * the ref can't hit 0 before the user drops the initial ref, so as long as we
24 * convert to non percpu mode before the initial ref is dropped everything
27 * Converting to non percpu mode is done with some RCUish stuff in
28 * percpu_ref_kill. Additionally, we need a bias value so that the atomic_t
29 * can't hit 0 before we've added up all the percpu refs.

35 * percpu_ref_init - initialize a percpu refcount
36 * @ref: percpu_ref to initialize
37 * @release: function which will be called when refcount hits 0
39 * Initializes the refcount in single atomic counter mode with a refcount of 1;
40 * analagous to atomic_set(ref, 1).
42 * Note that @release must not sleep - it may potentially be called from RCU
43 * callback context by percpu_ref_kill().

109 * It's crucial that we sum the percpu counters _before_ adding the sum
110 * to &ref->count; since gets could be happening on one cpu while puts
111 * happen on another, adding a single cpu's count could cause
112 * @ref->count to hit 0 before we've got a consistent value - but the
113 * sum of all the counts will be consistent and correct.
115 * Subtracting the bias value then has to happen _after_ adding count to
116 * &ref->count; we need the bias value to prevent &ref->count from
117 * reaching 0 before we add the percpu counts. But doing it at the same

145 * Due to the way percpu_ref is implemented, @confirm_kill will be called
146 * after at least one full RCU grace period has passed but this is an
147 * implementation detail and callers must not depend on it.
