Subject: [PATCH 2/3] VFS: swap do_ioctl and vfs_ioctl names
Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2007 19:10:44 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11935266453628-git-send-email-ezk@cs.sunysb.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11935266454097-git-send-email-ezk@cs.sunysb.edu>

Rename old vfs_ioctl to do_ioctl, because the comment above it clearly
indicates that it is an internal function not to be exported to modules;
therefore it should have a more traditional do_XXX name.  The new do_ioctl
is exported in fs.h but not to modules.

Rename the old do_ioctl to vfs_ioctl because the names vfs_XXX should
preferably be reserved to callable VFS functions which modules may call,
as many other vfs_XXX functions already do.  Export the new vfs_ioctl to
modules so others can use it (including Unionfs and eCryptfs).
