[PATCH 1/5] fs, xfs: convert xfs_bui_log_item.bui_refcount from atomic_t to refcount_t

From: Elena Reshetova
Date: Wed Mar 08 2017 - 03:57:12 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.
