From cb685432398122053f3e1dc6a1d68924e5b77be4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:16:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] secretmem: Prevent secretmem_users from wrapping to zero Commit 110860541f44 ("mm/secretmem: use refcount_t instead of atomic_t") attempted to fix the problem of secretmem_users wrapping to zero and allowing suspend once again. But it was reverted in commit 87066fdd2e30 ("Revert 'mm/secretmem: use refcount_t instead of atomic_t'") because of the problems it caused - a refcount_t was not semantically the right type to use. Instead prevent secretmem_users from wrapping to zero by forbidding new users if the number of users has wrapped from positive to negative. This stops a long way short of reaching the necessary 4 billion users where it wraps to zero again, so there's no need to be clever with special anti-wrap types or checking the return value from atomic_inc().
