From 00cd8dd3bf95f2cc8435b4cac01d9995635c6d0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2012 17:13:09 -0400 Subject: stop passing nameidata to ->lookup() Just the flags; only NFS cares even about that, but there are legitimate uses for such argument. And getting rid of that completely would require splitting ->lookup() into a couple of methods (at least), so let's leave that alone for now...
