change close_files() to use rcu_dereference_raw(files->fdt)
put_files_struct() and close_files() do rcu_read_lock() to make rcu_dereference_check_fdtable() happy. This looks a bit ugly, files_fdtable() just reads the pointer, we can simply use rcu_dereference_raw() to avoid the warning. The patch also changes close_files() to return fdt, this avoids another rcu_read_lock()/files_fdtable() in put_files_struct(). I think close_files() needs more cleanups: - we do not need xchg() exactly because we are the last user of this files_struct - "if (file)" should be turned into WARN_ON(!file) Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
