Subject: net, ipv6: convert inet6_dev.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1be9246077f6bb1583f9347c599480621d63c66a;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

net, ipv6: convert inet6_dev.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t

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.
