[PATCH 6/6] nfs_localio: change nfsd_file_put_local() to take a pointer to __rcu pointer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Instead of calling xchg() and unrcu_pointer() before
nfsd_file_put_local(), we now pass pointer to the __rcu pointer and call
xchg() and unrcu_pointer() inside that function.

Where unrcu_pointer() is currently called the internals of "struct
nfsd_file" are not known and that causes older compilers such as gcc-8
to complain.

In some cases we have a __kernel (aka normal) pointer not an __rcu
pointer so we need to cast it to __rcu first.  This is strictly a
weakening so no information is lost.  Somewhat surprisingly, this cast
is accepted by gcc-8.

This has the pleasing result that the cmpxchg() which sets ro_file and
rw_file, and also the xchg() which clears them, are both now in the nfsd
code.
