Subject: namei.c: switch user pathname imports to CLASS(filename{,_flags})
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=904f58b50711babeb6e1383701e27d40a336908c;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

namei.c: switch user pathname imports to CLASS(filename{,_flags})

filename_flags is used by user_path_at().  I suspect that mixing
LOOKUP_EMPTY with real lookup flags had been a mistake all along; the
former belongs to pathname import, the latter - to pathwalk.  Right now
none of the remaining in-tree callers of user_path_at() are getting
LOOKUP_EMPTY in flags, so user_path_at() could probably be switched
to CLASS(filename)...
