I understand that we don't have an easy and better choice here, but maybe we should document the rules of these references somewhere in a very strict way. The pattern in staking/session of
inc_ref
/dec_red
reminds me ofmalloc
/free
and such, paradigms that we probably want to avoid.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Are these the kind of rules would you be looking for?
If a module wants to "keep alive" an account until it is done with it, it should put a reference counter on it.
When it is done with it, it should remove that reference counter.
It should only happen once each way. (But I guess there is nothing that would stop a module from managing multiple reference counters in both directions.)
