obvious typo here...













Indeed. Any comments from the kvm developers in this approach? The
current multi-level file refcounting seems rather bogus so I'd like
to make some progress on this.


I'm okay with switching away from the file-based refcounts to a refcount embedded in the kvm structures, though I'm not particularly thrilled by it. Any reason not to use krefs for this?
