Merge patch series "file: remove f_version"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
The f_version member in struct file isn't particularly well-defined. It
is mainly used as a cookie to detect concurrent seeks when iterating
directories. But it is also abused by some subsystems for completely
unrelated things.
It is mostly a directory specific thing that doesn't really need to live
in struct file and with its wonky semantics it really lacks a specific
function.
For pipes, f_version is (ab)used to defer poll notifications until a
write has happened. And struct pipe_inode_info is used by multiple
struct files in their ->private_data so there's no chance of pushing
that down into file->private_data without introducing another pointer
indirection.
But this should be a solvable problem. Only regular files with
FMODE_ATOMIC_POS and directories require f_pos_lock. Pipes and other
files don't. So this adds a union into struct file encompassing
f_pos_lock and a pipe specific f_pipe member that pipes can use. This
union of course can be extended to other file types and is similar to
what we do in struct inode already.
