Subject: [PATCH v2 3/9] mm: remove set_page_count() from page_frag_alloc_align
Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2021 15:01:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211221150140.988298-4-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211221150140.988298-1-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>

set_page_count() unconditionally resets the value of _ref_count and that
is dangerous, as it is not programmatically verified. Instead we rely on
comments like: "OK, page count is 0, we can safely set it".

Add a new refcount function: page_ref_add_return() to return the new
refcount value after adding to it. Use the return value to verify that
the _ref_count was indeed the expected one.
