When converting from atomic_t to refcount_t we didn't follow the usual step of initializing it to one before taking any new reference, which trips over checking if taking a reference for a freed refcount_t, fix it. Brendan's report: --- It's 4.12-rc7, with node v4.4.1. I'm building 4.13-rc1 now, as I hit what I think is another unrelated perf bug and I'm starting to wonder what else is broken on that version: (root) /mnt/src/linux-4.12-rc7/tools/perf # ./perf record -F 99 -a -e cpu-clock --cgroup=docker/f9e9d5df065b14646e8a11edc837a13877fd90c171137b2ba3feb67a0201cb65 -g perf: /mnt/src/linux-4.12-rc7/tools/include/linux/refcount.h:108: refcount_inc: Assertion `!(!refcount_inc_not_zero(r))' failed.
