Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2006 16:53:00 -0700 From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@...ibm.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: viro@....linux.org.uk, herbert@...hfloor.at, hch@...radead.org, Dave Hansen <haveblue@...ibm.com> Subject: [PATCH 27/28] elevate writer count for custom 'struct file' Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct file's. Any of these users which set the write flag on the file will cause an extra mnt_drop_write() on __fput(), thus dropping the reference count too low. These users tend to have artifical in-kernel vfsmounts which aren't really exposed to userspace and can't be remounted, but this patch is included for completeness and so that the warnings don't trip over these cases.
