From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: From: Miklos Szeredi To: Jeff Layton , "J. Bruce Fields" , Al Viro Cc: linux-unionfs@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 2/3] vfs: make argument of d_real_inode() const Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2016 15:53:35 +0200 Message-Id: <1469109216-24353-3-git-send-email-mszeredi@redhat.com> In-Reply-To: <1469109216-24353-1-git-send-email-mszeredi@redhat.com> References: <1469109216-24353-1-git-send-email-mszeredi@redhat.com> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: d_op->d_real() leaves the dentry alone except if the third argument is non-zero. Unfortunately very difficult to explain to the compiler without a cast.
