Hi, recently I post a patch to remove the lock_kernel() in the ioctl() of drivers/block/loop.c. After that Andrew Morton add a a change where he gets the inode pointer from file->f_mapping->host, needed because loop.c now uses unlocked_ioctl(). Reading the do_ioctl() code in fs/ioctl.c I see that there the inode pointer is get from filp->f_path.dentry->d_inode. So, which inode pointer do i should use? Are the the same always? -- -------------- Diego Woitasen -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
