With refcount_inc_not_zero, we'd also need a smp_rmb or similar, followed by a test of the CONFIRMED bit. However, the ct pointer is taken from skb->_nfct, its refcount must not be 0 (else, we'd already have a use-after-free bug). Use refcount_inc() instead to clarify the ct refcount is expected to be at least 1. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
