From 2c887e2359f6e7217cdaa17994ca94ef328b658f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KaiGai Kohei Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2006 09:16:50 +0900 Subject: [JFFS2][XATTR] Re-define xd->refcnt as atomic_t In jffs2_release_xattr_datum(), it refers xd->refcnt to ensure whether releasing xd is allowed or not. But we can't hold xattr_sem since this function is called under spin_lock(&c->erase_completion_lock). Thus we have to refer it without any locking. This patch redefine xd->refcnt as atomic_t. It enables to refer xd->refcnt without any locking.
