[PATCH 05/25] fs: char_dev: introduce lookup_cdev function to find cdev by name

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

 



Function lookup_cdev works similar with lookup_bdev, we can get
a cdev instance by lookup_cdev with a parameter of dev name.

This function will be used in quotactl to get a cdev by a dev name.
