__always_inline should work, then you get constant propagation for the
function pointer.
But indeed, perhaps a macro is more convenient vs the irq flags
argument. You'll then end up with something like:
#define __refcount_dec_and_lock(_ref, _lock, _unlock) \
({ bool _ret = false; \
if (!refcount_dec_not_one(_ref)) { \
_lock; \
if (!refcount_dec_and_test(_ref)) { \
_unlock; \
} else { \
_ret = true; \
} \
} \
_ret; \
})
bool refcount_dec_and_spinlock_irqsave(refcount_t *r, spinlock_t *lock,
unsigned long *flags)
{
return __refcount_dec_and_lock(r, spin_lock_irqsave(*lock, *flags),
spin_unlock_irqrestore(*lock, *flags));
}
