-Subject: [PATCH] ucount: Remove the atomicity from ucount->count
-
-Always increment/decrement ucount->count under the ucounts_lock. The
-increments are there already and moving the decrements there means the
-locking logic of the code is simpler. This simplification in the
-locking logic fixes a race between put_ucounts and get_ucounts that
-could result in a use-after-free because the count could go zero then
-be found by get_ucounts and then be freed by put_ucounts.
-
-A bug presumably this one was found by a combination of syzkaller and
-KASAN. JongWhan Kim reported the syzkaller failure and Dmitry Vyukov
-spotted the race in the code.
