Subject: [patch V2 RESEND 6/6] perf/core: Convert mmap() refcounts to refcount_t
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 14:36:39 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250811123609.793328607@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250811123458.050061356@linutronix.de
The recently fixed reference count leaks could have been detected by using
refcount_t and refcount_t would have mitigated the potential overflow at
least.
Now that the code is properly structured, convert the mmap() related
mmap_count variants over to refcount_t.
No functional change intended.
