[PATCH 4/7] aio: remove the extra get_file/fput pair in io_submit_one

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

 



If we release the lockdep write protection token before calling into
->write_iter and thus never access the file pointer after an -EIOCBQUEUED
return from ->write_iter or ->read_iter we don't need this extra
reference.
