Subject: [git pull] vfs_mkobj() and mqueue-related stuff
Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2018 19:42:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180130194245.GC29051@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (raw)

	mqueue and bpf go through rather painful and similar contortions to
create objects in their dentry trees.  Provide a primitive for doing that
without abusing ->mknod(), switch bpf and mqueue to it.
	Another mqueue-related thing that has ended up in that branch is
on-demand creation of internal mount (based upon the work of Giuseppe Scrivano).
