Egads... OK, that has gone more than slightly out of control - right now
vfs.git#for-next is at 106 commits, -3.6KLoC balance and *still* hadn't
reached the ->f_op part of that work ;-/ OTOH, procfs-related code got
a lot cleaner and we actually have a chance to make the guts of proc_dir_entry
private to fs/proc now... I'll cull the outright bug fixes into for-linus
and push it your way...
The thing that really worries me is debugfs; that fscker sets whatever
file_operations it's got from the driver that registered a file there
and sticks that into ->i_fop. When we try to open() that, we get
try_module_get() ->i_fop->owner; so far, so good, but what if the driver
has just been removed *and* file_operations instance we are looking at
has already been freed?
IOW, how do we deal with a race between attempt to open a debugfs file and
its removal on driver unload? Greg?
