From a2e0602c36ed9fe042714694dd5a889ecd8cb556 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elena Reshetova Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 16:17:38 -0700 Subject: ipc: convert ipc_namespace.count 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.
