I'm not sure if that's the right approach, TBH. I wonder if something like static inline struct fd fdget(int fd) { unsigned long v = __fdget(fd); return (struct fd){(struct file *)(v & ~1), v & 1}; } would not be a better starting point, with __fdget(fd) being { struct files_struct *files = current->files; struct file *file; if (atomic_read(&files->count) == 1) { file = __fcheck_files(files, fd); if (file && (file->f_mode & FMODE_PATH)) return 0; return (unsigned long)file; } else { file = __fget(fd, FMODE_PATH); return file ? 1 | (unsigned long)file : 0; } } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
