[PATCH] fscache: Convert from atomic_t to refcount_t on fscache_cache_tag->usage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



refcount_t type and corresponding API can protect refcounters from
accidental underflow and overflow and further use-after-free situations.
