Dan points out that an error case left things on this list. It is also
missing locking in available_instances_show().

Further study shows the list isn't needed at all, just store the total
ports in use in an atomic and delete the whole thing.

I was just looking at the same and noticing how available_instances is
not enforced :-\  What if we ATOMIC_INIT(MAX_TTYS) and use this as
available ports rather than used ports.  We can check and return
-ENOSPC at the beginning or probe if we can't allocate the ports.  The
only complication is when we need to atomically subtract >1 and not go
negative.  I don't know if there's a better solution than:

+       for (i = nr_ports; i; i--) {
+               if (!atomic_add_unless(&available_ports, -1, 0))
+                       break;
+       }
+       if (i) {
+               atomic_add(nr_ports - i, &available_ports);
+               return -ENOSPC;
+       }

Thanks,
Alex

I saw that too - it is something someone could do on top of this
atomic change without too much trouble. I'm not sure it is worthwhile
to work on these samples too much

It is usually done with a cmpxchg loop:

static inline int atomic_sub_if_positive(int i, atomic_t *v)
{
        int dec, c = atomic_read(v);

        do {
                dec = c - i;
                if (unlikely(dec < 0))
                        break;
        } while (!atomic_try_cmpxchg(v, &c, dec));

        return dec;
}

Or even a simple logic with atomic_sub_return() would do well enough
for this.
