[PATCH v5 3/5] fs: move kmem_cache_zalloc() into alloc_empty_file*() helpers

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

 



Use a common helper init_file() instead of __alloc_file() for
alloc_empty_file*() helpers and improrve the documentation.

This is needed for a follow up patch that allocates a backing_file
container.
