[PATCH] uml: Fixes an host fd leak caused by hostfs.
In detail, on 2.4 we used force_delete() to make sure inode were not cached, and we then close the host file when the inode is cleared; when porting to 2.6 the "force_delete" thing was dropped, and this patch adds a fix for this (by setting drop_inode = generic_delete_inode). Search for drop_inode in the 2.6 Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt for info about this.
