From 633547973ffc32fd2c815639d4675e1531f0896f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Reshetova, Elena" Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2017 13:07:58 +0300 Subject: net: convert sk_buff.users 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.
