[PATCH -nect RFC v2 1/2] block: add helpers for bd_holder_dir refcount management

From: Yu Kuai
Date: Thu Oct 20 2022 - 08:59:09 EST


Currently the lifecycle of bd_holder_dir is problematic, it can be freed
in del_gendisk() while it can still be accessed before disk_release().
And there in no way to know if the kobject if freed by kobject_put() for
now, thus add a new field in bloce_device to manage refcount of
bd_holder_dir seperately.

Prepare to fix the problem in following patch.
