From 8fd3395ec9051a52828fcca2328cb50a69dea8ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2024 11:49:04 -0400 Subject: get rid of ...lookup...fdget_rcu() family Once upon a time, predecessors of those used to do file lookup without bumping a refcount, provided that caller held rcu_read_lock() across the lookup and whatever it wanted to read from the struct file found. When struct file allocation switched to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, that stopped being feasible and these primitives started to bump the file refcount for lookup result, requiring the caller to call fput() afterwards. But that turned them pointless - e.g. rcu_read_lock(); file = lookup_fdget_rcu(fd); rcu_read_unlock(); is equivalent to file = fget_raw(fd); and all callers of lookup_fdget_rcu() are of that form. Similarly, task_lookup_fdget_rcu() calls can be replaced with calling fget_task(). task_lookup_next_fdget_rcu() doesn't have direct counterparts, but its callers would be happier if we replaced it with an analogue that deals with RCU internally.
