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(). 34 * 35 */ 36 37#include <linux/refcount.h> 38#include <linux/bug.h> 39 40#ifdef CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL 41 42/** 43 * refcount_add_not_zero - add a value to a refcount unless it is 0 44 * @i: the value to add to the refcount 45 * @r: the refcount 46 * 47 * Will saturate at UINT_MAX and WARN. 48 * 49 * Provides no memory ordering, it is assumed the caller has guaranteed the 50 * object memory to be stable (RCU, etc.).
