The decision to free kernfs_open_node object in kernfs_put_open_node can be taken based on whether kernfs_open_node->files list is empty or not. As far as kernfs_drain_open_files is concerned it can't overlap with kernfs_fops_open and hence can check for ->attr.open optimistically (if ->attr.open is NULL) or under kernfs_open_file_mutex (if it needs to traverse the ->files list.) Thus kernfs_drain_open_files can work w/o ref counting involved kernfs_open_node as well. So remove ->refcnt and modify the above mentioned users accordingly.

README
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.
