Currently we call it with refcount equal to 1 when called from dentry_kill(); all other callers have it equal to 0. Make it always be called with zero refcount; on this step we just decrement it before the calls in dentry_kill(). That is safe, since all places that care about the value of refcount either do that under ->d_lock or hold a reference to dentry in question. Either is sufficient to prevent observing a dentry immediately prior to __dentry_kill() getting called from dentry_kill().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
