fdget/fdput use looks sane, the only thing is that I would rather
have an explicit include of linux/file.h instead of relying upon
linux/eventfd.h pulling it. Incidentally, there are only 5 files
that include the latter without an explicit include of the former -
drivers/vfio/pci/vfio_pci.c, drivers/vhost/scsi.c, kernel/cgroup.c,
mm/memcontrol.c and mm/vmpressure.c. And only kernel/cgroup.c (and,
with this patch, vfio_pci.c) really wants anything from linux/file.h,
so I'd rather kill that indirect include in eventfd.h and slapped
an explicit include of file.h in these two files...
BTW, most of the eventfd_fget() users might as well be using fget()
(or fdget(), for that matter). They tend to be immediately followed
by eventfd_ctx_fileget(), which repeats the "is that an eventfd file?"
check anyway.
Completely untested patch below does that to kernel/cgroup.c; Tejun,
Davide - do you have any objections against the following?
Kill indirect include of file.h from eventfd.h, use fdget() in cgroup.c
kernel/cgroup.c is the only place in the tree that relies on eventfd.h
pulling file.h; move that include there. Switch from eventfd_fget()/fput()
to fdget()/fdput(), while we are at it - eventfd_ctx_fileget() will fail
on non-eventfd descriptors just fine, no need to do that check twice...
