The\nupdates to the fdtable are done by allocating a new fdtable structure and\nsetting files-\u003efdt to point to the new structure. The fdtable structure is\nprotected by RCU thereby allowing lock-free lookup. For fd arrays/sets that\nare vmalloced, we use keventd to free them since RCU callbacks can\u0027t sleep. A\nglobal list of fdtable to be freed is not scalable, so we use a per-cpu list.\nIf keventd is already handling the current cpu\u0027s work, we use a timer to defer\nqueueing of that work.\n\nSince the last publication, this patch has been re-written to avoid using\nexplicit memory barriers and use rcu_assign_pointer(), rcu_dereference()\npremitives instead. This required that the fd information is kept in a\nseparate structure (fdtable) and updated atomically.\n\nSigned-off-by: Dipankar Sarma \u003cdipankar@in.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "2832e9366a1fcd6f76957a42157be041240f994e", "tree": "d2dd2a46f3ba7476b7db31806b5d98c4ed6a46dd", "parents": [ "0730ded5be28653675ed314fdd878b8db5f88aa4" ], "author": { "name": "Eric Dumazet", "email": "dada1@cosmosbay.com", "time": "Tue Sep 06 15:17:38 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Sep 07 16:57:32 2005 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] remove file.f_maxcount\n\nstruct file cleanup: f_maxcount has an unique value (INT_MAX).
