* vfs: fix RCU-lockdep false positive due to /procPaul E. McKenney2010-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a single-threaded process does a file-descriptor operation, and some other process accesses that same file descriptor via /proc, the current rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() can give a false-positive RCU-lockdep splat due to the reference count being increased by the /proc access after the reference-count check in fget_light() but before the check in rcu_dereference_check_fdtable(). This commit prevents this false positive by checking for a single-threaded process. To avoid #include hell, this commit uses the wrapper for thread_group_empty(current) defined by rcu_my_thread_group_empty() provided in a separate commit.

* vfs: Abstract rcu_dereference_check for files-fdtable usePaul E. McKenney2010-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create an rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() that encapsulates the rcu_dereference_check() condition for fcheck_files() use. This has the beneficial side-effect of getting rid of a very long line. Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* kmemtrace, fs: fix linux/fdtable.h header file dependenciesIngo Molnar2009-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup We want to remove percpu.h from rcupdate.h (for upcoming kmemtrace changes), but this is not possible currently without breaking the build because fdtable.h has an implicit include file dependency: it uses __init does not include init.h. This can cause build failures on non-x86 architectures: /home/mingo/tip/include/linux/fdtable.h:66: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'files_defer_init' make[2]: *** [fs/locks.o] Error 1 We got this header included indirectly via rcupdate.h's percpu.h inclusion - but if that is not there the build will break. Fix it.

* filp_cachep can be static in fs/file_table.cEric Dumazet2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | Instead of creating the "filp" kmem_cache in vfs_caches_init(), we can do it a litle be later in files_init(), so that filp_cachep is static to fs/file_table.c Acked-by: Paul E.
