struct lu_ref is always an empty structure, and the functions
which manipulate it do nothing.
So this is not being tested and so cannot be trusted.
So remove all these calls and field declarations.

Or we can make lu_ref really work and always test with it :-)

We could ... though a lot of the code has been removed already, I was
just finishing the job.

How useful is this stuff?
Has it actually helped to find any bugs?
Does it do any run-time checks, or it is just
there to help you pull apart a crash-dump?

I think there is a real cost in having these extra linkages.  I'd like
to be clear what the benefit is.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

I've never used it myself, though I know a few developers that did in the
past.  That said, most of the time they needed to use it to debug some
issue they had to push a patch to fix it first...

Mike, Alex, you are most likely to use this code - do you think it is
still useful?

Cheers, Andreas

I've used that is past to track reference leaks, that can be useful but 
as you said each time I had to fix it first. I think it would be 
reasonable to keep that feature if it is enabled by default on developer 
systems, without that it is not so useful.

-/** \defgroup lu_ref lu_ref
- *
- * An interface to track references between objects. Mostly for debugging.
- *
- * Suppose there is a reference counted data-structure struct foo. To track
- * who acquired references to instance of struct foo, add lu_ref field to it:
- *
- * \code
- *	 struct foo {
- *		 atomic_t      foo_refcount;
- *		 struct lu_ref foo_reference;
- *		 ...
- *	 };
- * \endcode
- *
- * foo::foo_reference has to be initialized by calling
- * lu_ref_init(). Typically there will be functions or macros to increment and
- * decrement foo::foo_refcount, let's say they are foo_get(struct foo *foo)
- * and foo_put(struct foo *foo), respectively.
- *
- * Whenever foo_get() is called to acquire a reference on a foo, lu_ref_add()
- * has to be called to insert into foo::foo_reference a record, describing
- * acquired reference. Dually, lu_ref_del() removes matching record. Typical
- * usages are:
- *
- * \code
- *	struct bar *bar;
- *
- *	// bar owns a reference to foo.
- *	bar->bar_foo = foo_get(foo);
- *	lu_ref_add(&foo->foo_reference, "bar", bar);
- *
- *	...
- *
- *	// reference from bar to foo is released.
- *	lu_ref_del(&foo->foo_reference, "bar", bar);
- *	foo_put(bar->bar_foo);
- *
- *
- *	// current thread acquired a temporary reference to foo.
- *	foo_get(foo);
- *	lu_ref_add(&foo->reference, __func__, current);
- *
- *	...
- *
- *	// temporary reference is released.
- *	lu_ref_del(&foo->reference, __func__, current);
- *	foo_put(foo);
- * \endcode
- *
- * \e Et \e cetera. Often it makes sense to include lu_ref_add() and
- * lu_ref_del() calls into foo_get() and foo_put(). When an instance of struct
- * foo is destroyed, lu_ref_fini() has to be called that checks that no
- * pending references remain. lu_ref_print() can be used to dump a list of
- * pending references, while hunting down a leak.
- *
- * For objects to which a large number of references can be acquired,
- * lu_ref_del() can become cpu consuming, as it has to scan the list of
- * references. To work around this, remember result of lu_ref_add() (usually
- * in the same place where pointer to struct foo is stored), and use
- * lu_ref_del_at():
- *
- * \code
- *	// There is a large number of bar's for a single foo.
- *	bar->bar_foo     = foo_get(foo);
- *	bar->bar_foo_ref = lu_ref_add(&foo->foo_reference, "bar", bar);
- *
- *	...
- *
- *	// reference from bar to foo is released.
- *	lu_ref_del_at(&foo->foo_reference, bar->bar_foo_ref, "bar", bar);
- *	foo_put(bar->bar_foo);
- * \endcode
- *
- * lu_ref interface degrades gracefully in case of memory shortages.
