From ce8614a312ef750bb60677bb13680cb27d1c284b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2017 10:00:46 -0600 Subject: crypto: algapi - convert cra_refcnt to refcount_t Reference counters should use refcount_t rather than atomic_t, since the refcount_t implementation can prevent overflows, reducing the exploitability of reference leak bugs. crypto_alg.cra_refcount is a reference counter with the usual semantics, so switch it over to refcount_t.
