Dm-zoned initializes reference counters of new chunk works with zero value and refcount_inc() is called to increment the counter. However, the refcount_inc() function handles the addition to zero value as an error and triggers the warning as follows: refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free. WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1506 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x68/0xf0 ... CPU: 7 PID: 1506 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 5.4.0+ #134 ...

After this warning, following refcount API calls for the counter all fail to change the counter value. Fix this by setting the initial reference counter value not zero but one for the new chunk works. Instead, do not call refcount_inc() via dmz_get_chunk_work() for the new chunks works. The failure was observed with linux version 5.4 with CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL enabled. Refcount rework was merged to linux version 5.5 by the commit |

README
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.
