Subject: [PATCH v2 06/24] proc/fd: In proc_fd_link use fget_task
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2020 17:14:23 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201120231441.29911-6-ebiederm@xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87r1on1v62.fsf@x220.int.ebiederm.org>

When discussing[1] exec and posix file locks it was realized that none
of the callers of get_files_struct fundamentally needed to call
get_files_struct, and that by switching them to helper functions
instead it will both simplify their code and remove unnecessary
increments of files_struct.count.  Those unnecessary increments can
result in exec unnecessarily unsharing files_struct which breaking
posix locks, and it can result in fget_light having to fallback to
fget reducing system performance.

Simplifying proc_fd_link is a little bit tricky.  It is necessary to
know that there is a reference to fd_f	 ile while path_get is running.
This reference can either be guaranteed to exist either by locking the
fdtable as the code currently does or by taking a reference on the
file in question.

Use fget_task to remove the need for get_files_struct and
to take a reference to file in question.
