User-space normally keeps the node alive when creating a transaction since it has a reference to the target. The local strong ref keeps it alive if the sending process dies before the target process processes the transaction. If the source process is malicious or has a reference counting bug, this can fail. In this case, when we attempt to decrement the node in the failure path, the node has already been freed. This is fixed by taking a tmpref on the node while constructing the transaction. To avoid re-acquiring the node lock and inner proc lock to increment the proc's tmpref, a helper is used that does the ref increments on both the node and proc.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
