• 5dc8bf813   signal/timer/event fds: anonymous inode source ... Browse Code »

  This patch add an anonymous inode source, to be used for files that need
  and inode only in order to create a file*. We do not care of having an
  inode for each file, and we do not even care of having different names in
  the associated dentries (dentry names will be same for classes of file*).
  This allow code reuse, and will be used by epoll, signalfd and timerfd
  (and whatever else there'll be).
