From 53d2be79d5981b7efc8c5ec1169613bba95bde20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davide Libenzi Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2005 19:28:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] epoll: fix delayed initialization bug Al found a potential problem in epoll_create(), where the file->private_data member was set after fd_install(). This is obviously wrong since another thread might do a close() on that fd# before we set the file->private_data member. This goes over 2.6.13 and passes a few basic tests I've done here. (akpm: snuck in a kzalloc() cleanup too) Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- Reading git-format-patch failed
