This series, for S390, 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 led to use-after-free vulnerabilities. The patches are fully independent and can be cherry-picked separately. Patches are based on top of linux-next as of yesterday. If there are no objections to the patches, please merge them via respective trees Elena Reshetova (3): [S390] vmur: convert urdev.ref_count from atomic_t to refcount_t [S390] net: convert lcs_reply.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t [S390] qeth: convert qeth_reply.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t drivers/s390/char/vmur.c | 8 ++++---- drivers/s390/char/vmur.h | 4 +++- drivers/s390/net/lcs.c | 10 +++++----- drivers/s390/net/lcs.h | 3 ++- drivers/s390/net/qeth_core.h | 3 ++- drivers/s390/net/qeth_core_main.c | 10 +++++----- 6 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) -- 2.7.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-s390" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
