Allocating the struct file during alloc_begin creates this strange asymmetry with IDR, where the FD has two krefs pointing at it during the pre-commit phase. In particular this makes the abort process for FD very strange and confusing. For instance abort currently calls the type's destroy_object twice, and the fops release once if abort is done. This is very counter intuitive. No fops should be called until alloc_commit succeeds, and destroy_object should only ever be called once. Moving the struct file allocation to the alloc_commit is now simple, as we already support failure of rdma_alloc_commit_uobject, with all the required rollback pieces. This creates an understandable symmetry with IDR and simplifies/fixes the abort handling for FD types. Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
