Many of the mdev drivers use a simple counter for keeping track of the available instances. Move this code to the core code and store the counter in the mdev_parent. Implement it using correct locking, fixing mdpy. Drivers just provide the value in the mdev_driver at registration time and the core code takes care of maintaining it and exposing the value in sysfs. [hch: count instances per-parent instead of per-type, use an atomic_t to avoid taking mdev_list_lock in the show method] Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Kevin Tian <kevin.tian@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Kirti Wankhede <kwankhede@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Farman <farman@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220923092652.100656-15-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@redhat.com> |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
