Sorry, I missed that you send a new version somehow.
So, I think I mentioned this last time: The locking has changed to
reduce contention on the global mutex. Both epmutex and ep_remove() are
gone. So this doesn't even compile anymore...
CC fs/eventpoll.o
../fs/eventpoll.c: In function ‘eventpoll_replace_file’:
../fs/eventpoll.c:998:21: error: ‘epmutex’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘mutex’?
998 | mutex_lock(&epmutex);
| ^~~~~~~
| mutex
../fs/eventpoll.c:998:21: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
../fs/eventpoll.c:1034:17: error: implicit declaration of function ‘ep_remove’; did you mean ‘idr_remove’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
1034 | ep_remove(ep, epi);
| ^~~~~~~~~
| idr_remove
on current mainline. So please send a new version for this.
