Christoph,
Thanks for the review!
Ok, so I'll switch:
- all helpers to take an additional argument
(capable_wrt_inode_uidgid()/inode_permission()/vfs_*() etc.)
- all inode method calls to take an additional argument (I assume that's
what you're referring to: ->create()/->mknod()/->mkdir() etc.)
I've always assumed that this is what we'd be doing in the end anyway
(I've mentioned it in the commit message for the inode_operations
method's. This will be a bit of work but we can get that done!)
