[PATCH 06/11] fs, nfs: convert pnfs_layout_hdr.plh_refcount from atomic_t to refcount_t

From: Elena Reshetova
Date: Fri Oct 20 2017 - 05:57:31 EST


atomic_t variables are currently used to implement reference
counters with the following properties:
- counter is initialized to 1 using atomic_set()
- a resource is freed upon counter reaching zero
- once counter reaches zero, its further
increments aren't allowed
- counter schema uses basic atomic operations
(set, inc, inc_not_zero, dec_and_test, etc.)

Such atomic variables should be converted to a newly provided
refcount_t type and API that prevents accidental counter overflows
and underflows. This is important since overflows and underflows
can lead to use-after-free situation and be exploitable.

The variable pnfs_layout_hdr.plh_refcount is used as pure reference counter.
Convert it to refcount_t and fix up the operations.
