Subject: io_uring/bpf_filter: add ref counts to struct io_bpf_filter
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e7f67c2be7877a3d44aa79b8d22eae8cb6e2c6d6;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

io_uring/bpf_filter: add ref counts to struct io_bpf_filter

In preparation for allowing inheritance of BPF filters and filter
tables, add a reference count to the filter. This allows multiple tables
to safely include the same filter.
