From 392910cf3f8a0161d3da45d02ea17f2910d9193b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Elena Reshetova Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 16:20:49 +0200 Subject: drivers, firewire: convert fw_node.ref_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.
