FreeBSD/src f1cf2b9 (r350199) — sys/kern kern_descrip.c uipc_usrreq.c, sys/sys refcount.h file.h
Check and avoid overflow when incrementing fp->f_count in
fget_unlocked() and fhold().
On sufficiently large machine, f_count can be legitimately very large,
e.g. malicious code can dup same fd up to the per-process
filedescriptors limit, and then fork as much as it can.
On some smaller machine, I see
kern.maxfilesperproc: 939132
kern.maxprocperuid: 34203
which already overflows u_int. More, the malicious code can create
transient references by sending fds over unix sockets.
I realized that this check is missed after reading
