in the process of writing a newbie article on how to use the
seq_file implementation of proc files, and i noticed that, in
fs/seq_file.c, mangle_path() is EXPORTed, as is seq_path(), but
neither of seq_path_root() or seq_dentry().
that just seems slightly inconsistent. is there any value (or
obvious drawback) to EXPORTing those other two?
rday
p.s. LDD3 writes of seq_path():
"It is unlikely to be used in device drivers: we have included it here
for completeness."
it is invoked exactly once in the source tree, in drivers/md/md.c.
just an observation.
