Subject: [PATCH v2 09/11] mount_setattr.2: mirror opening sentence from fsopen(2)
Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2025 03:44:43 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250807-new-mount-api-v2-9-558a27b8068c@cyphar.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250807-new-mount-api-v2-0-558a27b8068c@cyphar.com>
All of the other new mount API docs have this lead-in sentence in order
to make this set of APIs feel a little bit more cohesive. Despite being
a bit of a latecomer, mount_setattr(2) is definitely part of this family
of APIs and so deserves the same treatment.
