From 73d049a40fc6269189c4e2ba6792cb5dd054883c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2011 12:08:24 -0500 Subject: open-style analog of vfs_path_lookup() new function: file_open_root(dentry, mnt, name, flags) opens the file vfs_path_lookup would arrive to. Note that name can be empty; in that case the usual requirement that dentry should be a directory is lifted. open-coded equivalents switched to it, may_open() got down exactly one caller and became static.
