# \[PATCH RFC 06/27\] nfsd: let procfs own the seq\_file of /proc/fs/nfs/exports - From: Christian Brauner \ - Date: 2026-11-02 15:21:32 - List: linux-modules - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-modules/2026/11/17845511 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fsdevel/2026/11/17844895/t/2.md ```text Declare the seq_operations and let procfs open and free the seq_file. ->proc_open() and ->proc_release() only set up ->private and take and drop the reference to the network namespace now. Reading the file then no longer holds up its removal.
