From 00cd5adb0313f540aa58672d14e764d164586a43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2014 04:48:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] igb: fix race accessing page->_count This is illegal to use atomic_set(&page->_count, 2) even if we 'own' the page. Other entities in the kernel need to use get_page_unless_zero() to get a reference to the page before testing page properties, so we could loose a refcount increment.
