You do realize that sockets are not unique in that respect, right?
All kinds of interesting stuff can be accessed via /proc/*/fd/*, and
it _can_ be closed under you.  So I'd suggest checking how your code
copes with similar for pipes, FIFOs, epoll, etc., accessed that way...

We are _not_ going to be checking that in fs/open.c - the stuff found
via /proc/*/fd/* can have the associated file closed by the time
we get to calling ->open() and we won't know that until said call.

Huh?  What's wrong with file_inode(f), in the first place?  And
just when can that be NULL, while we are at it?

Can that be called for a negative?
