[PATCH 1/5] fs: Do not allow get_file() to resurrect 0 f_count

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

 



If f_count reaches 0, calling get_file() should be a failure. Adjust to
use atomic_long_inc_not_zero() and return NULL on failure. In the future
get_file() can be annotated with __must_check, though that is not
currently possible.
