[PATCH 1/6] fs: super_block->s_uuid_len

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some weird old filesytems have UUID-like things that we wish to expose
as UUIDs, but are smaller; add a length field so that the new
FS_IOC_(GET|SET)UUID ioctls can handle them in generic code.
