- Subject: [PATCH] wcsmbs: Fix data race in __wcsmbs_clone_conv [BZ #24584]
This also adds an overflow check and documents the synchronization
requirement in <iconv/gconv_int.h>.

[BZ #24584]
* wcsmbs/wcsmbsload.c (__wcsmbs_clone_conv): Acquire __gconv_lock
before updating __counter field and release it afterwards. Add
overflow check.
* iconv/gconv_int.h (struct __gconv_loaded_object): Mention
synchronization requirement for __counter member.
