We want to keep them around, but if they go "dead" then we we'll tear them down if they aren't actively in use at the time. So, we still free the thing when the refcount goes to zero, but we have an extra condition before we free it on the put -- that the session is also "dead" (meaning that the client asked us to destroy it). Your patch doesn't look like it'll break anything, but I personally find it harder to follow that way. The freeable reference state will be 1 instead of the normal 0. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
