From c02b1a9b41c2e728289f96850580a3651e0a8b5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mateusz Guzik Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2017 12:58:15 +0200 Subject: vfs: grab the lock instead of blocking in __fd_install during resizing Explicit locking in the fallback case provides a safe state of the table. Getting rid of blocking semantics makes __fd_install usable again in non-sleepable contexts, which easies backporting efforts. There is a side effect of slightly nicer assembly for the common case as might_sleep can now be removed.
