Your implementation is O(n*m).

What about:

struct res_counter *
res_counter_common_ancestor(struct res_counter *r1, struct res_counter *r2)
{
	struct res_counter *iter;
	int r1_depth = 0, r2_depth = 0;

	for (iter = r1; iter; iter = iter->parent)
		r1_depth++;
	for (iter = r2; iter; iter = iter->parent)
		r2_depth++;

	while (r1_depth > r2_depth) {
		r1 = r1->parent;
		r1_depth--;
	}
	while (r2_depth > r1_depth) {
		r2 = r2->parent;
		r2_depth--;
	}

	while (r1 != r2) {
		r1 = r1->parent;
		r2 = r2->parent;
	}

	return r1;
}

Untested. It's O(n+m).
