Subject: [PATCH] files: fix preemption issues
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.14-rc2~5^2~18

[PATCH] files: fix preemption issues

With the new fdtable locking rules, you have to protect fdtable with either
->file_lock or rcu_read_lock/unlock().  There are some places where we
aren't doing either.  This patch fixes those places.
