Daniel, does this patch look good to you?
Unsure which Daniel you meant
I was thinking of Daniel Vetter :P
but I would probably instead say: 'Userspace can release blobs as soon as they do not need to refer to them by their blob object ID. For instance, if you are using a MODE_ID blob in an atomic commit and you will not make another commit reusing the same ID, you can destroy the blob as soon as the commit has been issued, without waiting for it to complete.'
But thanks! That sounds much better and avoids using the term "reference counting" (which is nice because it's an internal detail).
Sending a v2 now.
