The patch titled Subject: ipc: convert sem_undo_list.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ipc-convert-sem_undo_listrefcnt-from-atomic_t-to-refcount_t.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Elena Reshetova <elena.reshetova@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: ipc: convert sem_undo_list.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free situations.
