[PATCHv2] refcount: always allow checked forms

From: Mark Rutland
Date: Wed Jul 11 2018 - 05:36:16 EST


In many cases, it would be useful to be able to use the full
sanity-checked refcount helpers regardless of CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL, as
this would help to avoid duplicate warnings where callers try to
sanity-check refcount manipulation.

This patch refactors things such that the full refcount helpers were
always built, as refcount_${op}_checked(), such that they can be used
regardless of CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL. This will allow code which *always*
wants a checked refcount to opt-in, avoiding the need to duplicate the
logic for warnings.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Since v1 [1]:
* Fix refcount_inc_checked() name
* Accumulate acks

Kees, per your reply [2], I'm assuming that either you or David will end up
picking this up as part of a series usingthe checked forms.

Mark.
