From 230cd1279d0019d52f9529c7d91c96d095cae755 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: WANG Cong Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 15:56:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] netpoll: shut up a kernel warning on refcount When we convert atomic_t to refcount_t, a new kernel warning on "increment on 0" is introduced in the netpoll code, zap_completion_queue(). In fact for this special case, we know the refcount is 0 and we just have to set it to 1 to satisfy the following dev_kfree_skb_any(), so we can just use refcount_set(..., 1) instead.
