Linux kernel source tree
The recent rewrite of PCM link lock management introduced the refcount
in snd_pcm_group object, managed by the kernel refcount_t API. This
caused unexpected kernel warnings when the kernel is built with
CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y. As the warning line indicates, the problem is
obviously that we start with refcount=0 and do refcount_inc() for
adding each PCM link, while refcount_t API doesn't like refcount_inc()
performed on zero.
For adapting the proper refcount_t usage, this patch changes the logic
slightly:
- The initial refcount is 1, assuming the single list entry
- The refcount is incremented / decremented at each PCM link addition
and deletion
- ... which allows us concentrating only on the refcount as a release
condition

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
