page_owner needs to increment a stack_record refcount when a new allocation occurs, and decrement it on a free operation. In order to do that, we need to have a way to get a stack_record from a handle. Implement __stack_depot_get_stack_record() which just does that, and make it public so page_owner can use it. Also, traversing all stackdepot buckets comes with its own complexity, plus we would have to implement a way to mark only those stack_records that were originated from page_owner, as those are the ones we are interested in. For that reason, page_owner maintains its own list of stack_records, because traversing that list is faster than traversing all buckets while keeping at the same time a low complexity. For now, add to stack_list only the stack_records of dummy_handle and failure_handle, and set their refcount of 1. Further patches will add code to increment or decrement stack_records count on allocation and free operation.

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.
