Merge tag 'rxrpc-rewrite-20160907-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs David Howells says: ==================== rxrpc: Overhaul call refcounting Here's a set of mostly small patches leading up to one big one. The big patch at the end of the series overhauls how rxrpc_call refcounting is handled, making it more sane so that calls bound to user IDs are _only_ released from socket operations or kernel API functions. Further, the patch stops calls from holding refs on their parent socket - which can prevent the socket from being cleaned up. The second largest patch improves the call tracking tracepoint by providing extra information about the situation in which gets and puts occur. This allows distinctions to be drawn between refs held by the socket user ID tree, refs held by the work queue (to be implemented by a future patch) and other refs. The other patches include a couple of cleanups and some simple alterations to avoid NULL pointer dereferences in the big patch. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
