[PATCH v2 5/8] percpu-rwsem: make percpu_free_rwsem() after kzalloc() safe

Show all headers | View raw

This is the temporary ugly hack which will be reverted later. We only
need it to ensure that the next patch will not break "change sb_writers
to use percpu_rw_semaphore" patches routed via VFS tree.

alloc_super()->destroy_super() error path assumes that it is safe to
call percpu_free_rwsem() after kzalloc() without percpu_init_rwsem(),
let's not dissapoint it.
