1/*
2 * Variant of atomic_t specialized for reference counts.
3 *
4 * The interface matches the atomic_t interface (to aid in porting) but only
5 * provides the few functions one should use for reference counting.
6 *
7 * It differs in that the counter saturates at UINT_MAX and will not move once
8 * there. This avoids wrapping the counter and causing 'spurious'
9 * use-after-free issues.
10 *
11 * Memory ordering rules are slightly relaxed wrt regular atomic_t functions
12 * and provide only what is strictly required for refcounts.
13 *
14 * The increments are fully relaxed; these will not provide ordering. The
15 * rationale is that whatever is used to obtain the object we're increasing the
16 * reference count on will provide the ordering. For locked data structures,
17 * its the lock acquire, for RCU/lockless data structures its the dependent
18 * load.
19 *
20 * Do note that inc_not_zero() provides a control dependency which will order
21 * future stores against the inc, this ensures we'll never modify the object
22 * if we did not in fact acquire a reference.
23 *
24 * The decrements will provide release order, such that all the prior loads and
25 * stores will be issued before, it also provides a control dependency, which
26 * will order us against the subsequent free().
27 *
28 * The control dependency is against the load of the cmpxchg (ll/sc) that
29 * succeeded. This means the stores aren't fully ordered, but this is fine
30 * because the 1->0 transition indicates no concurrency.
31 *
32 * Note that the allocator is responsible for ordering things between free()
33 * and alloc().
