Subject: memfd: export memfd_{add,get}_seals()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1beb9b7223d2a1f1872f76a3d29b0a4a3cee4171;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

memfd: export memfd_{add,get}_seals()

Patch series "mm: memfd_luo: preserve file seals", v2.

This series adds support for preserving file seals when preserving a memfd
using LUO.  Patch 1 exports some memfd seal manipulation functions and
patch 2 adds support for preserving them.  Since it makes changes to the
serialized data structure for memfd, it also bumps the version number.


This patch (of 2):

Support for preserving file seals will be added to memfd preservation
using the Live Update Orchestrator (LUO).  Export memfd_{add,get}_seals)()
so memfd_luo can use them to manipulate the seals.
