From a4b2b58efd44db68358e1a6b71cf205c795d7ada Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Reshetova, Elena Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 15:53:27 +0300 Subject: net, sctp: convert sctp_transport.refcnt 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.
