6 * Variant of atomic_t specialized for reference counts.
7 *
8 * The interface matches the atomic_t interface (to aid in porting) but only
9 * provides the few functions one should use for reference counting.
10 *
11 * It differs in that the counter saturates at UINT_MAX and will not move once
12 * there. This avoids wrapping the counter and causing 'spurious'
13 * use-after-free issues.
14 *
15 * Memory ordering rules are slightly relaxed wrt regular atomic_t functions
16 * and provide only what is strictly required for refcounts.
17 *
18 * The increments are fully relaxed; these will not provide ordering. The
19 * rationale is that whatever is used to obtain the object we're increasing the
20 * reference count on will provide the ordering. For locked data structures,
21 * its the lock acquire, for RCU/lockless data structures its the dependent
22 * load.
23 *
24 * Do note that inc_not_zero() provides a control dependency which will order
25 * future stores against the inc, this ensures we'll never modify the object
26 * if we did not in fact acquire a reference.
27 *
28 * The decrements will provide release order, such that all the prior loads and
29 * stores will be issued before, it also provides a control dependency, which
30 * will order us against the subsequent free().
31 *
32 * The control dependency is against the load of the cmpxchg (ll/sc) that
33 * succeeded. This means the stores aren't fully ordered, but this is fine
34 * because the 1->0 transition indicates no concurrency.
35 *
36 * Note that the allocator is responsible for ordering things between free()
37 * and alloc().
