| |
This series, for dm and bcache parts, replaces atomic_t reference counters with the new refcount_t type and API (see include/linux/refcount.h). By doing this we prevent intentional or accidental underflows or overflows that can led to use-after-free vulnerabilities.
The patches are fully independent and can be cherry-picked separately. Patches are based on top of linux-next as of yesterday. If there are no objections to the patches, please merge them via respective trees
Elena Reshetova (4): bcache: convert cached_dev.count from atomic_t to refcount_t dm cache: convert dm_cache_metadata.ref_count from atomic_t to refcount_t dm: convert dm_dev_internal.count from atomic_t to refcount_t dm: convert table_device.count from atomic_t to refcount_t
