From 22d4c291f58752d14efb8a185b772a3fc3e947d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Pittman Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 13:35:55 -0400 Subject: dm thin: use refcount_t for thin_c reference counting The API surrounding refcount_t should be used in place of atomic_t when variables are being used as reference counters. It can potentially prevent reference counter overflows and use-after-free conditions. In the dm thin layer, one such example is tc->refcount. Change this from the atomic_t API to the refcount_t API to prevent mentioned conditions.
