Hi Kieran,

Thank you for the patch.

Still a nice diffstart :-)

Given that the only caller of this function passes dlm->pool as the second 
argument, can't you remove the second argument ?

(And I would have said "Get a body" but that's up to you)

Too bad we can't keep the list splice, it's more efficient than iterating over 
the list, but I suppose it's unavoidable if we want to reset the number of 
used entries to 0 for each body. Beside, we should have a small number of 
bodies only, so hopefully it won't be a big deal.

We can certainly do this synchronously now that we don't need to free memory 
anymore. I wonder however about the potential performance impact, as there's a 
kfree() in vsp1_dl_list_free(). Do you think it could have a noticeable impact 
on the time spent with interrupts disabled ?

Shouldn't we keep the last part of the sentence and adapt it ? Maybe something 
like

	and must not release it explicitly with vsp1_dl_body_put().

I know that you introduce a reference count in the next patches that would 
make this comment invalid, up to this patch it should be correct. When 
introducing reference-counting you can update the comment to state that the 
reference must be released.
