[PATCH RFC 5/7] vfs: Include origin of the SB error notification

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

 



When reporting a filesystem error, we really need to know where the
error came from, therefore, include "function:line" information in the
notification sent to userspace.  There is no current users of notify_sb
in the kernel, so there are no callers to update.
