[PATCH] net: convert fib_treeref from int to refcount_t

From: Yajun Deng <hidden>
Date: 2021-07-29 07:14:10

refcount_t type should be used instead of int when fib_treeref is used as
a reference counter,and avoid use-after-free risks.

This patch landed in linux-next 20210802 as commit 79976892f7ea ("net: 
convert fib_treeref from int to refcount_t"). It triggers the following 
warning on all my test systems (ARM32bit and ARM64bit based):

This issue should be possible to trigger also with qemu. If you need any 
help in reproducing it, let me know.
