[SOLVED] Problem with get_empty_filp!

[nareshpandey]

Hi,

In my file system filter I'm observing that get_empty_filp is behaving not the way it is meant to work. In multi-threaded environment I see that for two threads in in dentry_open() it returns same struct file* and which later results in a crash when one thread calls fput() on this file.

Can somebody help me understand how dentry_open() or get_empty_filp works in multi-threaded environment?

regards

Hi,

I figured out the problem. This was a silly mistake of sync between threads and I thought that file pointer returned by dentry_open() has some problem.
