From: Francis Deslauriers Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2017 16:50:38 +0000 (-0500) Subject: Fix: atomic_add_unless() returns true/false rather than prior value X-Git-Tag: v2.8.5~17 X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ed62cbfdea7889dba8b3f34550255160616da3a8;p=lttng-modules.git Fix: atomic_add_unless() returns true/false rather than prior value The previous implementation assumed that `atomic_add_unless` returned the prior value of the atomic counter when in fact it returned if the addition was performed (true) or not performed (false). Since `atomic_add_unless` can not return INT_MAX, the `lttng_kref_get` always returned that the call was successful. This issue had a low likelihood of being triggered since the two refcounts of the counters used with this call are both bounded by the maximum number of file descriptors on the system.
