Subject: [PATCH] locking/refcounts: Do not force refcount_t usage as GPL-only export
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2017 17:24:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171205012454.GA39249@beast> (raw)

The refcount_t protection on x86 was not intended to use the stricter
GPL export. This adjusts the linkage again to avoid a regression in
the availability of the refcount API.

Reported-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@gmail.com>
Fixes: 7a46ec0e2f48 ("locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Implement fast refcount overflow protection")
