Subject: [PATCH] SUNRPC: Convert from atomic_t to refcount_t on rpc_clnt->cl_count

refcount_t type and corresponding API can protect refcounters from
accidental underflow and overflow and further use-after-free situations.

Have you tested this patch? As far as I remember, the reason why we
never converted is that refcount_inc() gets upset and WARNs when you
bump a zero refcount, like we do very much on purpose in
rpc_free_auth(). Is that no longer the case?

Sorry, I'm not sure why you need to bump a zero refcount in a normal situation. But maybe we can use refcount_inc_not_zero() API in rpc_free_auth() instead?

It is still the case, they sent gazillion conversion patches with same
mistake.
