new wrapper: alloc_file_pseudo()
takes inode, vfsmount, name, O_... flags and file_operations and either returns a new struct file (in which case inode reference we held is consumed) or returns ERR_PTR(), in which case no refcounts are altered. converted aio_private_file() and sock_alloc_file() to it Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
