From b8f00e6be46f4c9a112e05fd692712873c4c4048 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2014 07:51:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] acct: new lifetime rules Do not reuse bsd_acct_struct after closing the damn thing. Structure lifetime is controlled by refcount now. We also have a mutex in there, held over closing and writing (the file is O_APPEND, so we are not losing any concurrency). As the result, we do not need to bother with get_file()/fput() on log write anymore. Moreover, do_acct_process() only needs acct itself; file and pidns are picked from it. Killed instances are distinguished by having NULL ->ns. Refcount is protected by acct_lock; anybody taking the mutex needs to grab a reference first. The things will get a lot simpler in the next commits - this is just the minimal chunk switching to the new lifetime rules. Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- Reading git-format-patch failed
