Subject: [PATCH 1/8] bdi: use refcount_t for reference counting instead atomic_t
Date:   Wed,  9 May 2018 21:36:38 +0200
Message-Id: <20180509193645.830-2-bigeasy@linutronix.de>

Precedence: bulk

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t wh=
en
the variable is used as a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental
refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free situations.
