From 4fd45812cbe875a620c86a096a5d46c742694b7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vadim Lobanov Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 02:21:17 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fdtable: Remove the free_files field An fdtable can either be embedded inside a files_struct or standalone (after being expanded). When an fdtable is being discarded after all RCU references to it have expired, we must either free it directly, in the standalone case, or free the files_struct it is contained within, in the embedded case. Currently the free_files field controls this behavior, but we can get rid of it entirely, as all the necessary information is already recorded. We can distinguish embedded and standalone fdtables using max_fds, and if it is embedded we can divine the relevant files_struct using container_of().
