[PATCH 02/15] Remove ctx_info and ctx_info_list

From: Michael Ellerman
Date: Wed Sep 12 2007 - 03:44:14 EST


Remove the ctx_info struct entirely, and also the ctx_info_list. This fixes
a race where two processes can clobber each other's ctx_info structs.

Instead of using the list, we just repeat the search through the file
descriptor table.
