[RFC 1/2] refcount: add __cond_lock() for conditional lock refcount API

From: Alexander Aring
Date: Thu Jun 30 2022 - 10:14:36 EST


This patch adds the __cond_lock() macro to refcounts conditional lock
API. Currently sparse cannot detect the conditional lock handling of
refcount_dec_and_lock() functionality and prints a context imbalance
warning like:

warning: context imbalance in 'put_rsb' - unexpected unlock

with this patch and having the refcount_dec_and_lock() functionality
inside the if condition to decide whenever doing unlock or not the
warning disappears.

The patch follows a similar naming scheme like raw_spin_trylock() by
adding a "raw_" prefix to refcount_dec_and_lock() functionality and
introduce a macro for the replaced functions that uses __cond_lock()
to signal that an acquire depends on the return value of the passed
function.

A cast to bool seems to be necessary because __cond_lock() does return a
non-boolean scalar type.

The __must_check annotation was tested and is still working with this
patch applied.
