[PATCH 19/20] elevate writer count for custom 'struct file'

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their
own 'struct file's.  Any of these users which set the write flag
on the file will cause an extra mnt_drop_write() on __fput(),
thus dropping the reference count too low.

These users tend to have artifical in-kernel vfsmounts which
aren't really exposed to userspace and can't be remounted, but
this patch is included for completeness and so that the warnings
don't trip over these cases.
