Subject: [PATCH] mm/rmap: convert anon_vma.refcount from atomic_t to refcount_t
Date:   Thu, 11 Mar 2021 13:56:15 +0800
Message-Id: <20210311055615.4461-1-yejune.deng@gmail.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0

Precedence: bulk

refcount_t type should be used instead of atomic_t when the variable
is used as a reference counter. This is because the implementation of
refcount_t can prevent overflows and detect possible use-after-free.
