[PATCH 1/4] fs/anon_inodes: new interface to create new inode

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

 



From: Gioh Kim <gurugio@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The anon_inodes has already complete interfaces to create manage
many anonymous inodes but don't have interface to get
new inode. Other sub-modules can create anonymous inode
without creating and mounting it's own pseudo filesystem.
