Looks good. In addition please switch kern_mount to use it instead of converting from struct file_system_type to name and back. Also all other callers of do_kern_mount except for do_new_mount should probably use it directly instead of doing the name lookup. Except for simple_pin_fs() which will need a paramter change all those would be trivial aswell. So instead of adding another entry point care to switch the existing one to saner prototype and the sane name? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
