RTFS. We sure as hell *do* have exclusive access to struct file. See
/* POSIX.1-2008/SUSv4 Section XSI 2.9.7 */
if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode) || S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode))
f->f_mode |= FMODE_ATOMIC_POS;
in do_dentry_open() as well as
if (file && (file->f_mode & FMODE_ATOMIC_POS)) {
if (file_count(file) > 1) {
v |= FDPUT_POS_UNLOCK;
mutex_lock(&file->f_pos_lock);
}
}
in __fdget_pos() and
f = fdget_pos(fd);
if (!f.file)
return -EBADF;
in getdents(2).
