[PATCH 9/9] net, ipv4: convert fib_info.fib_clntref from atomic_t to refcount_t

Show all headers | View raw

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.
