From 0139aa7b7fa12ceef095d99dc36606a5b10ab83a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joonsoo Kim Date: Thu, 19 May 2016 17:10:49 -0700 Subject: mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount Many developers already know that field for reference count of the struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be accessed directly.
