From c0acdfb409c82047853df1e5f3dbdbe4005c78ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Reshetova, Elena" Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 15:53:25 +0300 Subject: net, sctp: convert sctp_datamsg.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.
