Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
atomic_add_unless (atomic_inc_not_zero) no longer requires an offset refcount
to function correctly.

* Also, many kernel routines increase the page count before a critical

* Since 2.6.6 (approx), a free page has ->_count = -1. This is so that we
* can use atomic_add_negative(-1, page->_count) to detect when the page
* becomes free and so that we can also use atomic_inc_and_test to atomically
* detect when we just tried to grab a ref on a page which some other CPU has
* already deemed to be freeable.
*
* NO code should make assumptions about this internal detail! Use the provided
* macros which retain the old rules: page_count(page) == 0 is a free page.
