From 66c0b394f08fd89236515c1c84485ea712a157be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2008 20:33:56 +0100 Subject: KVM: kill file->f_count abuse in kvm Use kvm own refcounting instead of playing with ->filp->f_count. That will allow to get rid of a lot of crap in anon_inode_getfd() and kill a race in kvm_dev_ioctl_create_vm() (file might have been closed immediately by another thread, so ->filp might point to already freed struct file when we get around to setting it).
