From 6319194ec57b0452dcda4589d24c4e7db299c5bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Thu, 12 May 2022 17:08:03 -0400 Subject: Unify the primitives for file descriptor closing Currently we have 3 primitives for removing an opened file from descriptor table - pick_file(), __close_fd_get_file() and close_fd_get_file(). Their calling conventions are rather odd and there's a code duplication for no good reason. They can be unified - 1) have __range_close() cap max_fd in the very beginning; that way we don't need separate way for pick_file() to report being past the end of descriptor table. 2) make {__,}close_fd_get_file() return file (or NULL) directly, rather than returning it via struct file ** argument. Don't bother with (bogus) return value - nobody wants that -ENOENT. 3) make pick_file() return NULL on unopened descriptor - the only caller that used to care about the distinction between descriptor past the end of descriptor table and finding NULL in descriptor table doesn't give a damn after (1). 4) lift ->files_lock out of pick_file() That actually simplifies the callers, as well as the primitives themselves. Code duplication is also gone...
