From ddb99e118e37f324a4be65a411bb60ae62795cf9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elena Reshetova Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2017 15:20:49 +0300 Subject: security, keys: convert key_user.usage 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.
