Oh, actually this is fault on our side: initially we didn't have a refcount_dec_not_one() interface and we had to be creative in converting cases like this, but now the interface is present, but we actually forgot to convert this particular case.
So, the above change should be:
- if (atomic_add_unless(&cset->refcount, -1, 1))
+ if (refcount_dec_not_one(&cset->refcount))
Do you want me to resend or could you modify the patch while applying?
