If you pass NULL as super_operations to mount_pseudo() function, which was the case before the patch, default structure super_operations (with contains only simple_statfs) is used (have a look at mount_pseudo() in fs/libfs.c). This patch added pipefs_ops without the statfs callback and passed it instead of the NULL. -- Cyril Hrubis chrubis@xxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
