[PATCH RFC 06/11] SUNRPC: let procfs own the seq_file of the cache content file
From: Christian Brauner
Date: Mon Nov 02 2026 - 13:38:40 EST
Declare the seq_operations and let procfs open and free the seq_file of
/proc/net/rpc/<cache>/content. ->proc_open() and ->proc_release() only
take and drop the module reference and set up ->private now. The
rpc_pipefs file is unchanged. Reading the procfs file then no longer
holds up its removal when the network namespace goes away.
