   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().
