Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 2/3] functionfs: switch to simple_remove_by_name()
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 06:54:47 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720105452.216179-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720105452.216179-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

[ Upstream commit c7747fafaba0dcdad3d7da240e961927b4865f98 ]

No need to return dentry from ffs_sb_create_file() or keep it around
afterwards.

To avoid subtle issues with getting to ffs from epfiles in
ffs_epfiles_destroy(), pass the superblock as explicit argument.
Callers have it anyway.
