[PATCH v3] fs: Create anon_inode_getfile_fmode()

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

 



Creates an anon_inode_getfile_fmode() function that works similarly to
anon_inode_getfile() with the addition of being able to set the fmode
member.

---
Changes since v1:
* removed __anon_inode_create_getfile_fmode()
* streamlined if statement and got rid of goto
Changes since v2:
* changed unsigned int for f_mode into fmode_t in anon_inodes.h
* added <linux/types.h> header to anon_inodes.h
