+ * Variant of atomic_t specialized for reference counts.
+ *
+ * The interface matches the atomic_t interface (to aid in porting) but only
+ * provides the few functions one should use for reference counting.
+ *
+ * Saturation semantics
+ * ====================
+ *
+ * refcount_t differs from atomic_t in that the counter saturates at
+ * REFCOUNT_SATURATED and will not move once there. This avoids wrapping the
+ * counter and causing 'spurious' use-after-free issues. In order to avoid the
+ * cost associated with introducing cmpxchg() loops into all of the saturating
+ * operations, we temporarily allow the counter to take on an unchecked value
+ * and then explicitly set it to REFCOUNT_SATURATED on detecting that underflow
+ * or overflow has occurred. Although this is racy when multiple threads
+ * access the refcount concurrently, by placing REFCOUNT_SATURATED roughly
+ * equidistant from 0 and INT_MAX we minimise the scope for error:
+ *
+ * INT_MAX REFCOUNT_SATURATED UINT_MAX
+ * 0 (0x7fff_ffff) (0xc000_0000) (0xffff_ffff)
+ * +--------------------------------+----------------+----------------+
+ * <---------- bad value! ---------->
+ *
+ * (in a signed view of the world, the "bad value" range corresponds to
+ * a negative counter value).
+ *
+ * As an example, consider a refcount_inc() operation that causes the counter
+ * to overflow:
+ *
+ * int old = atomic_fetch_add_relaxed(r);
+ * // old is INT_MAX, refcount now INT_MIN (0x8000_0000)
+ * if (old < 0)
+ * atomic_set(r, REFCOUNT_SATURATED);
+ *
+ * If another thread also performs a refcount_inc() operation between the two
+ * atomic operations, then the count will continue to edge closer to 0. If it
+ * reaches a value of 1 before /any/ of the threads reset it to the saturated
+ * value, then a concurrent refcount_dec_and_test() may erroneously free the
+ * underlying object.
+ * Linux limits the maximum number of tasks to PID_MAX_LIMIT, which is currently
+ * 0x400000 (and can't easily be raised in the future beyond FUTEX_TID_MASK).
+ * With the current PID limit, if no batched refcounting operations are used and
+ * the attacker can't repeatedly trigger kernel oopses in the middle of refcount
+ * operations, this makes it impossible for a saturated refcount to leave the
+ * saturation range, even if it is possible for multiple uses of the same
+ * refcount to nest in the context of a single task:
+ *
+ * (UINT_MAX+1-REFCOUNT_SATURATED) / PID_MAX_LIMIT =
+ * 0x40000000 / 0x400000 = 0x100 = 256
+ *
+ * If hundreds of references are added/removed with a single refcounting
+ * operation, it may potentially be possible to leave the saturation range; but
+ * given the precise timing details involved with the round-robin scheduling of
+ * each thread manipulating the refcount and the need to hit the race multiple
+ * times in succession, there doesn't appear to be a practical avenue of attack
+ * even if using refcount_add() operations with larger increments.
+ *
+ * Memory ordering
+ * ===============
+ *
+ * Memory ordering rules are slightly relaxed wrt regular atomic_t functions
+ * and provide only what is strictly required for refcounts.
+ *
+ * The increments are fully relaxed; these will not provide ordering. The
+ * rationale is that whatever is used to obtain the object we're increasing the
+ * reference count on will provide the ordering. For locked data structures,
+ * its the lock acquire, for RCU/lockless data structures its the dependent
+ * load.
+ *
+ * Do note that inc_not_zero() provides a control dependency which will order
+ * future stores against the inc, this ensures we'll never modify the object
+ * if we did not in fact acquire a reference.
+ *
+ * The decrements will provide release order, such that all the prior loads and
+ * stores will be issued before, it also provides a control dependency, which
+ * will order us against the subsequent free().
+ *
+ * The control dependency is against the load of the cmpxchg (ll/sc) that
+ * succeeded. This means the stores aren't fully ordered, but this is fine
+ * because the 1->0 transition indicates no concurrency.
+ *
+ * Note that the allocator is responsible for ordering things between free()
+ * and alloc().
+ *
+ * The decrements dec_and_test() and sub_and_test() also provide acquire
+ * ordering on success.
