Re: [PATCH V2 2/2] hfsplus: Add an ioctl to bless files

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>]

+#define HFSPLUS_IOC_BLESS              _IO('f', 0x20)

I'd probably move this to fs.h and follow the numbering there,
otherwise we are bound to run into conflicts.

Care to add a little comment on what this ioctl does, bless is a bit
of a generic name.

Please use file->f_path.dentry instead of the f_dentry define, please.

Also given that we use the dentry almost as often I'd pull it into a
local variable as well.

Any idea why we write the parent twice?



Not directly relevant, but where do you plan to put the userspace to
call this ioctl?
