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.
