From 458bc30cec26c2716746ae215ed23773257e417d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Reshetova, Elena" Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 15:53:01 +0300 Subject: net, atm: convert atm_dev.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free situations.
