From 17fa388ddceb89e9673d83d82cf28ef79e8225d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2014 17:00:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] locks: typedef fl_owner_t to void * fl_owner_t is a cookie that can store all kinds of different pointers, so don't pretends it points to a file structure. For now just change the typedef, but as a follow on this will allow to get rids of lots of casts and eventually the typedef itself.
