The patch titled Make set_fs_{root,pwd} take a struct path has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is make-set_fs_rootpwd-take-a-struct-path.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Make set_fs_{root,pwd} take a struct path From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@xxxxxxx> In nearly all cases the set_fs_{root,pwd}() calls work on a struct path. Change the function to reflect this and use path_get() here.
