[PATCH 0/4] introduce new put_getdisk() call

Show all headers | View raw

Hello.

In this patchset in the first patch I fixed module reference leak inside
blk-cgroup.c.  In other patches I switched to a new put_getdisk() call,
which should be used if the disk was received by get_disk() or get_gendisk()
functions, which internally increase module reference.

The idea is to avoid confusion in the future and to have symmetric calls:

	alloc_disk() -> put_disk() [as it is done in all the block drivers]

and

	get_gendisk() -> put_gendisk() [if you need to find a disk by minor,major]

The second sequence internally increases disk owner module reference on
get and decreases it on put.

Roman Pen (4):
  block: fix module reference leak on put_disk() call for cgroups
    throttle
  block: introduce new call put_gendisk() in genhd.c
  block,fs: switch to a new put_gendisk() call
  hibernate: fix disk and module leak on successfull resume
