Subject: [PATCH 0/3] s390 refcount conversions

This series, for S390, replaces atomic_t reference
counters with the new refcount_t type and API (see include/linux/refcount.h).
By doing this we prevent intentional or accidental
underflows or overflows that can led to use-after-free vulnerabilities.

The patches are fully independent and can be cherry-picked separately.
Patches are based on top of linux-next as of yesterday.
If there are no objections to the patches, please merge them via respective trees

Elena Reshetova (3):
  [S390] vmur: convert urdev.ref_count from atomic_t to refcount_t
  [S390] net: convert lcs_reply.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t
  [S390] qeth: convert qeth_reply.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t
