[RFC 04/10] kmod: provide wrappers for kmod_concurrent inc/dec

From: Luis R. Rodriguez
Date: Thu Dec 08 2016 - 14:48:34 EST


kmod_concurrent is used as an atomic counter for enabling
the allowed limit of modprobe calls, provide wrappers for it
to enable this to be expanded on more easily. This will be done
later.
