From bac0a9e56e1fd14b227ab57142eca6f7bc6e6115 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Brauner Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2024 19:10:45 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] file: add alloc_file_pseudo_noaccount() When we open block devices as files we want to make sure to not charge them against the open file limit of the caller as that can cause spurious failures.
