I guess you mean this commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=c2318d07ead871f058dda62e942ed7b6b1c1cfcf

Unfortunately it is not correct:

diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-table.c b/drivers/md/dm-table.c
index 88130b5..f6d32ee 100644
--- a/drivers/md/dm-table.c
+++ b/drivers/md/dm-table.c
@@ -451,15 +451,15 @@ int dm_get_device(struct dm_target *ti, const char *path, fmode_t mode,
return r;
}

- refcount_set(&dd->count, 1);
+ refcount_set(&dd->count, 0);
list_add(&dd->list, &t->devices);

} else if (dd->dm_dev->mode != (mode | dd->dm_dev->mode)) {
r = upgrade_mode(dd, mode, t->md);
if (r)
return r;
- refcount_inc(&dd->count);
}
+ refcount_inc(&dd->count);

Problem will be here if you hit this refcount_inc() after the refcount_set(&dd->count, 0) earlier.
refcount_inc() does not increment on zero value *ever* for security reasons and instead people
should initialize refcounters to 1 always and do increments from there if needed.
This was the reason for the initial change I did, my mistake was just to forget to increment it also
in case condition (dd->dm_dev->mode != (mode | dd->dm_dev->mode)) fails.

I have issues with my intel smpt server for sending patches (I will get it fixed tomorrow from internal network),
so I am attaching the patch I did end of last week to this thread instead (or alternatively can properly send it tomorrow after fix).
Sorry for the delay!

Best Regards,
Elena.
