2010-11-22	kref: Add a kref_sub function	Thomas Hellstrom
	Makes it possible to optimize batched multiple unrefs. Initial user will be drivers/gpu/ttm which accumulates unrefs to be processed outside of atomic code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
2010-05-21	kref: remove kref_set	NeilBrown
	Of the three uses of kref_set in the kernel: One really should be kref_put as the code is letting go of a reference, Two really should be kref_init because the kref is being initialised. This suggests that making kref_set available encourages bad code. So fix the three uses and remove kref_set completely.

2010-03-15	kobj: kref.h incorrectly describes itself as kref.c.	Robert P. J. Day

2009-09-26	headers: kref.h redux	Alexey Dobriyan
	* remove asm/atomic.h inclusion from kref.h -- not needed, linux/types.h is enough for atomic_t * remove linux/kref.h inclusion from files which do not need it. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-30	Remove "#ifdef __KERNEL__" checks from unexported headers	Robert P. J. Day
	Remove the "#ifdef __KERNEL__" tests from unexported header files in linux/include whose entire contents are wrapped in that preprocessor test. Signed-off-by: Robert P. J.

2008-01-24	kref: add kref_set()	Evgeniy Polyakov
	This adds kref_set() to the kref api for future use by people who really know what they are doing with krefs... From: Evgeniy Polyakov <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-03-08	[PATCH] kref: make kref_put return if this was the last put call.	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	This is needed for the upcoming klist code from Pat. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2004-09-01	Use "ifdef" rather than "if" to test for __KERNEL__	Linus Torvalds
	Both work, but the latter can cause warnings in user space from compilers that don't like using undefined identifiers in preprocessor expressions (quite reasonable). Pointed out by Randy Dunlap.
2004-08-31	Allow the compiler to notice "constant" header file.	Linus Torvalds
	Both gcc and sparse will speed up tokenization by noticing when a header file is protected by the standard preprocessor #ifndef .. #endif exclusion. However, that requires that the headers actually _use_ that standard exclusion. Some did their own little broken dance.
2004-08-22	KREF: make kref_get() return void as it makes sense to do so.	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	Thanks to Kiran for bugging me to do this. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>
2004-08-02	KREF: shrink the size of struct kref down to just a single atomic_t	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	This was based on a patch from Kiran, but tweaked further by me. Signed-off-by: Ravikiran Thirumalai <kiran@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>
2004-03-14	kref: add kref structure to kernel tree.	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	Based on the kobject structure, but much smaller and simpler to use.
