Subject: [PATCH 02/19] kernel: convert signal_struct.sigcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2017 12:18:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1487585948-6401-3-git-send-email-elena.reshetova@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1487585948-6401-1-git-send-email-elena.reshetova@intel.com>
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.
