From 0896cade1224f167296c786043e9bdc0ca63d392 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elena Reshetova Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2017 12:53:35 +0300 Subject: fs, nfs: convert nfs_cache_defer_req.count from atomic_t to refcount_t atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference counters with the following properties: - counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set() - a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero - once counter reaches zero, its further increments aren't allowed - counter schema uses basic atomic operations (set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.) Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable. The variable nfs_cache_defer_req.count is used as pure reference counter. Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.
