Hi all,
I was writing a livepatch patch, but compilation failed in creating the
.ko because mount_lock is "undefined."
The mount_lock is defined globally in fs/namespace.c
__cacheline_aligned_in_smp DEFINE_SEQLOCK(mount_lock);
and extern in fs/mount.h.
extern seqlock_t mount_lock;
If there is a reason that mount_lock should not be EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL,
please advise; otherwise, I propose the patch to export this symbol.
