[PATCH 4/6 v10] fs: New helper legitimize_mntget() for getting a legitimize mnt

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

 



New helper legitimize_mntget for getting a mnt without setting
MNT_SYNC_UMOUNT | MNT_UMOUNT | MNT_DOOMED, otherwise return NULL.

v9, Update using read_seqbegin_or_lock instead read_seqlock_excl
v10, fix bad logical of using seqlock
