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. Use fget_task to simplify bpf_task_fd_query. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180915160423.GA31461@xxxxxxxxxx Suggested-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
