[PATCH 18/18] net, netrom: convert nr_node.refcount from atomic_t to refcount_t

From: Elena Reshetova <elena.reshetova@intel.com>
Date: 2017-03-17 11:16:28
Also in: bridge, linux-bluetooth, linux-hams, lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "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.
