They aren't very good to inline, since they already call external functions (the spinlock code), and we're going to create rather more complicated versions of them that can do the reference count updates locklessly. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* Locked reference counts.
|
|
*
|
|
* These are different from just plain atomic refcounts in that they
|
|
* are atomic with respect to the spinlock that goes with them. In
|
|
* particular, there can be implementations that don't actually get
|
|
* the spinlock for the common decrement/increment operations, but they
|
|
* still have to check that the operation is done semantically as if
|
|
* the spinlock had been taken (using a cmpxchg operation that covers
|
|
* both the lock and the count word, or using memory transactions, for
|
|
* example).
