[PATCH 5/9] tools: convert map.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

From: Elena Reshetova
Date: Tue Feb 21 2017 - 10:35:56 EST


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.
