Hi! I see the other 6 patches from this series are in -next, but the refcount_t implementation is still missing. What's needed to land this in -next? It's blocking sending the atomic_t -> refcount_t patches, which will likely all go through various maintainers, so we need to have refcount_t first. :) Thanks! -Kees -- Kees Cook Nexus Security
