Could be. The result, though, will be slightly more difficult checking
for bad use count --- which always is a driver bug.

me->use_count += change;
WARN_ON(me->use_count < 0);

we must do something like this:

if (change < 0)
        WARN_ON(me->use_count < (unsigned)-change);
me->use_count += change;

I'd perhaps also go with unsigned int; the choice for signed was made
mainly since the above check and with signed int the check was more trivial.

Regards,
