[PATCH 26/39] VFS: Create user_path_nd() to lookup both parent and target

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

 



Proof-of-concept implementation of user_path_nd().  Lookup both the
parent and the target of a user-supplied filename, to supply later to
union copyup routines.
