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().
