From: Ye Xingchen <redacted> convert the fget()/fput() uses to fdget()/fdput().What's the advantages of this? Thanksquoted

In which kernel? include/linux/file.h:extern struct file *fget(unsigned int fd);
By using the fdget function, the socket object, can be quickly obtained from the process's file descriptor table without the need to obtain the file descriptor first before passing it as a parameter to the fget function. This reduces unnecessary operations, improves system efficiency and performance. Best Regards Ye
