This series of patches further integrates the refcount_t API into the device-mapper layer. The refcount_t API works to prevent counter overflows and use-after-free bugs, so should make the mechanism more robust, and make troubleshooting easier. Adding here to dm-thin and dm-zoned. Refcounters changed listed below: struct thin_c -> refcount struct dmz_bioctx -> ref struct dm_chunk_work -> refcount struct dmz_mblock -> ref struct dm_zone -> refcount John Pittman (3): dm thin: use refcount_t for thin_c reference counting dm zoned: metadata: use refcount_t for dm zoned reference dm zoned: target: use refcount_t for dm zoned reference drivers/md/dm-thin.c | 8 ++++---- drivers/md/dm-zoned-metadata.c | 25 +++++++++++++------------ drivers/md/dm-zoned.h | 2 +- drivers/md/dm-zoned-target.c | 20 ++++++++++---------- Best Regards, John Pittman Customer Engagement and Experience Red Hat Inc. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
