fm10k: fix race accessing page->_count
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
