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