From f7d88d24c5a2b66b02770e2776fce72b5fd70193 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elena Reshetova Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 16:20:50 +0200 Subject: drivers, char: convert vma_data.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.
