Subject: [PATCH v2 16/19] lib/stackdepot: allow users to evict stack traces
Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2023 19:14:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1a3ea1e6b82f95eea644875756e12daba6c4cc7f.1694625260.git.andreyknvl@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1694625260.git.andreyknvl@google.com>

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>

Add stack_depot_put, a function that decrements the reference counter
on a stack record and removes it from the stack depot once the counter
reaches 0.

Internally, when removing a stack record, the function unlinks it from
the hash table bucket and returns to the freelist.

With this change, the users of stack depot can call stack_depot_put
when keeping a stack trace in the stack depot is not needed anymore.
This allows avoiding polluting the stack depot with irrelevant stack
traces and thus have more space to store the relevant ones before the
stack depot reaches its capacity.

Changes v1->v2:
- Comments fixes as suggested by Marco.
- Add lockdep_assert annotation.
- Adapt to using list_head's.
- Rename stack_depot_evict to stack_depot_put.
