At the very least, the commit message needs to cover those as well, *if* the check is, indeed, redundant. From the look through those guys it looks like it is, but... I wonder if it would make more sense to pass char __user * instead of char * here. And do getname() inside do_mount(). As it is, we do getname() in all callers *and* never look into the result of said getname() until passing it to do_mount(). So how about just passing userland pointer all the way down to do_mount() (grep for callers and watch out for ones in arch/alpha/kernel/osf_sys.c) and doing getname() in do_mount() itself? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
