My preference would be to fix it the opposite way, by checking and ignoring zcache_host in zcache_put_pool. The ref-counting is to ensure that a client isn't accidentally destroyed while in use (for multiple-client users such as ramster and kvm) and since zcache_host is a static struct, it should never be deleted so need not be ref-counted.If we do that, we'll need to comment it. If we don't, it won't be obvious why we are refcounting every zcache client except one. It'll look like a bug.Okay, i will fix it like Dan's way and comment it.
Hmm...But i notice that zcache_host is the same as other clients, all of them are static struct: | static struct zcache_client zcache_host; | static struct zcache_client zcache_clients[MAX_CLIENTS]; And all of them are not destroyed. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
