Commit110860541f("mm/secretmem: use refcount_t instead of atomic_t") attempted to fix the problem of secretmem_users wrapping to zero and allowing suspend once again. But it was reverted in commit87066fdd2e("Revert 'mm/secretmem: use refcount_t instead of atomic_t'") because of the problems it caused - a refcount_t was not semantically the right type to use. Instead prevent secretmem_users from wrapping to zero by forbidding new users if the number of users has wrapped from positive to negative. This stops a long way short of reaching the necessary 4 billion users where it wraps to zero again, so there's no need to be clever with special anti-wrap types or checking the return value from atomic_inc().

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.
