- * kref_put_spinlock_irqsave - decrement refcount for object.
- * @kref: object.
- * @release: pointer to the function that will clean up the object when the
- *	     last reference to the object is released.
- *	     This pointer is required, and it is not acceptable to pass kfree
- *	     in as this function.
- * @lock: lock to take in release case
- *
- * Behaves identical to kref_put with one exception.  If the reference count
- * drops to zero, the lock will be taken atomically wrt dropping the reference
- * count.  The release function has to call spin_unlock() without _irqrestore.
