After a momentary panic attack where I was worried that f_list might
be accessed by one CPU while another was sending the same struct file
to call_rcu(), I realized that all accesses to f_list do file_list_lock()
first, thus preventing any other CPU from doing call_rcu() concurrently
on that struct file.

So it looks OK to me.

But you did have me going there for a bit! ;-)

Thanx, Paul
