[PATCH 08/16] drivers, net, hamradio: convert sixpack.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

From: elena.reshetova@intel.com (Elena Reshetova)
Date: 2017-03-28 08:58:32
Also in: linux-hams, linux-rdma, linux-wireless, lkml, netdev
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be
used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as
a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.
