    opp: Replace list_kref with a local counter · 03758d60
    Viresh Kumar 提交于
    A kref or refcount isn't the right tool to be used here for counting
    number of devices that are sharing the static OPPs created for the OPP
    table. For example, we are reinitializing the kref again, after it
    reaches a value of 0 and frees the resources, if the static OPPs get
    added for the same OPP table structure (as the OPP table structure was
    never freed). That is messy and very unclear.
    
    This patch makes parsed_static_opps an unsigned integer and uses it to
    count the number of users of the static OPPs. The increment and
    decrement to parsed_static_opps is done under opp_table->lock now to
    make sure no races are possible if the OPP table is getting added and
    removed in parallel (which doesn't happen in practice, but can in
    theory).
