* [PATCH] sanitize anon_inode_getfd()Al Viro2008-05-01
| | | | | | | | | a) none of the callers even looks at inode or file returned by anon_inode_getfd() b) any caller that would try to look at those would be racy, since by the time it returns we might have raced with close() from another thread and that file would be pining for fjords.

* [PATCH] fix up new filp allocatorsDave Hansen2008-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some new uses of get_empty_filp() have crept in; switched to alloc_file() to make sure that pieces of initialization won't be missing. We really need to kill get_empty_filp().

* anon-inodes use open coded atomic_inc for the shared inodeDavide Libenzi2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Since we know the shared inode count is always >0, we can avoid igrab() and use an open coded atomic_inc(). This also fixes a bug noticed by Yan Zheng <yanzheng@21cn.com>: were checking for an IS_ERR() return from igrab(), but it actually returns NULL on error.

| * KVM: Remove kvmfs in favor of the anonymous inodes sourceAvi Kivity2007-07-16

* signal/timer/event fds: anonymous inode sourceDavide Libenzi2007-05-11
This patch add an anonymous inode source, to be used for files that need and inode only in order to create a file*. We do not care of having an inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in the associated dentries (dentry names will be same for classes of file*). This allow code reuse, and will be used by epoll, signalfd and timerfd (and whatever else there'll be).
