Changes in v3: No changes in patches apart from trivial rebases, but now by default refcount_t = atomic_t and uses all atomic standard operations unless CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL is enabled. This is a compromize for the systems that are critical on performance and cannot accept even slight delay on the refcounter operations. Changes in v2: Not needed WARNs are removed since refcount_t warns by itself. BUG_ONs are left as it is, since refcount_t doesn't bug by default. This series, for block subsystem, replaces atomic_t reference counters with the new refcount_t type and API (see include/linux/refcount.h). By doing this we prevent intentional or accidental underflows or overflows that can lead to use-after-free vulnerabilities.
