Nice simplification! It is also important that dqput() now cannot sleep which was another reason for the logic with tofree_head in remove_inode_dquot_ref(). Probably this is good to mention in the changelog. > Signed-off-by: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > fs/quota/dquot.c | 33 ++++++--------------------------- > 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/fs/quota/dquot.c b/fs/quota/dquot.c > index e8e702ac64e5..df028fb2ce72 100644 > --- a/fs/quota/dquot.c > +++ b/fs/quota/dquot.c > @@ -1090,8 +1090,7 @@ static int add_dquot_ref(struct super_block *sb, int type) > * Remove references to dquots from inode and add dquot to list for freeing > * if we have the last reference to dquot > */ > -static void remove_inode_dquot_ref(struct inode *inode, int type, > - struct list_head *tofree_head) > +static void remove_inode_dquot_ref(struct inode *inode, int type) > { > struct dquot **dquots = i_dquot(inode); > struct dquot *dquot = dquots[type]; > @@ -1100,21 +1099,7 @@ static void remove_inode_dquot_ref(struct inode *inode, int type, > return; > > dquots[type] = NULL; > - if (list_empty(&dquot->dq_free)) { > - /* > - * The inode still has reference to dquot so it can't be in the > - * free list > - */ > - spin_lock(&dq_list_lock); > - list_add(&dquot->dq_free, tofree_head); > - spin_unlock(&dq_list_lock); > - } else { > - /* > - * Dquot is already in a list to put so we won't drop the last > - * reference here. > - */ > - dqput(dquot); > - } > + dqput(dquot); > } I think you can also just drop remove_inode_dquot_ref() as it is trivial now and inline it at its only callsite...
