Revision 92347cfd62c174ab91ad97dd4bfbaa1d4aa28e67 authored by Mark Rutland on 08 June 2017, 13:47:41 UTC, committed by James Morris on 09 June 2017, 03:29:50 UTC
If a key's refcount is dropped to zero between key_lookup() peeking at
the refcount and subsequently attempting to increment it, refcount_inc()
will see a zero refcount.  Here, refcount_inc() will WARN_ONCE(), and
will *not* increment the refcount, which will remain zero.

Once key_lookup() drops key_serial_lock, it is possible for the key to
be freed behind our back.

This patch uses refcount_inc_not_zero() to perform the peek and increment
atomically.
