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
25 * works.
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.

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

138 * @confirm_kill is not NULL. @confirm_kill, which may not block, will be
139 * called after @ref is seen as dead from all CPUs - all further
140 * invocations of percpu_ref_tryget() will fail. See percpu_ref_tryget()
141 * for more details.
143 * Due to the way percpu_ref is implemented, @confirm_kill will be called
144 * after at least one full RCU grace period has passed but this is an
145 * implementation detail and callers must not depend on it.
