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.

Looks good. Let me know how do you want to route the patch to upstream.

Greg, you previously mentioned that driver's conversions can go via your tree. Does this still apply?
Or should I be asking maintainers to merge these patches via their trees? 
I am not sure about the correct (and easier for everyone) way, please suggest.  

Best Regards,
Elena.

You should ask them to take them through their trees, if they have them.
I'll be glad to scoop up all of the remaining ones that get missed, or
for subsystems that do not have trees.

thanks,

When booting linux-next (specifically 5be4921c9958ec) I'm seeing the
backtrace below. I suspect this patch is just exposing an existing
issue?

cheers

Yes, we have actually been following this issue in the another thread. 
It looks like the object is re-used somehow, but I can't quite understand how just by reading the code. 
This was what I put into the previous thread:

"The log below indicates that you are using your refcounter in a bit weird way in mddev_find(). 
However, I can't find the place (just by reading the code) where you would increment refcounter from zero (vs. setting it to one).
It looks like you either iterate over existing nodes (and increment their counters, which should be >= 1 at the time of increment) or create a new node, but then mddev_init() sets the counter to 1. "

If you can help to understand what is going on with the object creation/destruction, would be appreciated!

Also Shaohua Li stopped this patch coming from his tree since the issue was caught at that time, so we are not going to merge this until we figure it out. 

Best Regards,
Elena.

Asking on the correct list (dm-devel) would have got you the easy
answer:  The refcount behind mddev->active is a genuine atomic.  It has
refcount properties but only if the array fails to initialise (in that
case, final put kills it).  Once it's added to the system as a gendisk,
it cannot be freed until md_free().  Thus its ->active count can go to
zero (when it becomes inactive; usually because of an unmount). On a
simple allocation regardless of outcome, the last executed statement in
md_alloc is mddev_put(): that destroys the device if we didn't manage
to create it or returns 0 and adds an inactive device to the system
which the user can get with mddev_find().
