    percpu_ref: add PERCPU_REF_INIT_* flags · 2aad2a86
    Tejun Heo authored
    With the recent addition of percpu_ref_reinit(), percpu_ref now can be
    used as a persistent switch which can be turned on and off repeatedly
    where turning off maps to killing the ref and waiting for it to drain;
    however, there currently isn't a way to initialize a percpu_ref in its
    off (killed and drained) state, which can be inconvenient for certain
    persistent switch use cases.
    
    Similarly, percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() allow dynamic
    selection of operation mode; however, currently a newly initialized
    percpu_ref is always in percpu mode making it impossible to avoid the
    latency overhead of switching to atomic mode.
    
    This patch adds @flags to percpu_ref_init() and implements the
    following flags.
    
    * PERCPU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC	: start ref in atomic mode
    * PERCPU_REF_INIT_DEAD		: start ref killed and drained
    
    These flags should be able to serve the above two use cases.
    
    v2: target_core_tpg.c conversion was missing.  Fixed.
