5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ed77e80e14a3cd55c73848b9e8043020e717ce12 ] Modify get_file_raw_ptr to use task_lookup_fd_rcu. The helper task_lookup_fd_rcu does the work of taking the task lock and verifying that task->files != NULL and then calls files_lookup_fd_rcu. So let use the helper to make a simpler implementation of get_file_raw_ptr.
