Subject: [RESEND PATCH 0/2] docs: Add some struct file refcounting information
Date: Mon,  4 Mar 2019 13:01:17 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190304200119.4567-1-corbet@lwn.net> (raw)

[No changes since the previous mailing; resending in hopes that somebody
will actually look at it :)  I may yet try to sneak the first patch into
5.1 if nobody screams; the second one definitely needs a more affirmative
ack, though. ]

Al Viro's recent "braindump" on how struct file refcounting works is too
good to lose, so let's capture it in Documentation/.  There are two changes
here:

 - Clean up the filesystem book, move stuff around, and generally try to
   create some order here.  No text changes other than some connecting
   text.

 - Bring in Al's text, with a fair amount of language tweaking and later
   corrections applied.

Hopefully this is just the beginning.
