From 0029c0deb590bc18732327d53b8fdab12eec6d7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Reshetova, Elena" Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 09:35:02 +0300 Subject: net, ipv4: convert fib_info.fib_clntref 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.
