From 87c3a86e1c220121d0ced59d1a71e78ed9abc6dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davide Libenzi Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 17:04:19 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] eventfd: remove fput() call from possible IRQ context Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context. Myself, like Eric, wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was able to, with the attached test program. Independently from this, the bug is conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it. This patch adds an optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd. Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not sure is worth it.
