      Revert "[PATCH] fix Data Acess error in dup_fd" · 9a3a04ac
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 0130b0b3.
      
      Sergey Vlasov points out (and Vadim Lobanov concurs) that the bug it was
      supposed to fix must be some unrelated memory corruption, and the "fix"
      actually causes more problems:
      
        "However, the new code does not look safe in all cases.  If some other
         task has opened more files while dup_fd() released oldf->file_lock, the
         new code will update open_files to the new larger value.  But newf was
         allocated with the old smaller value of open_files, therefore subsequent
         accesses to newf may try to write into unallocated memory."
      
      so revert it.
