Subject: [PATCH v3 22/24] binfmt_misc: assorted small cleanups
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:33:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-work-binfmt_misc-locking-v3-22-a162f7cb58d6@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-work-binfmt_misc-locking-v3-0-a162f7cb58d6@kernel.org>

Use umode_t for the mode argument of bm_get_inode(), constify the
fixed status strings in bm_status_read(), give the super_operations
the bm_ prefix everything else in this file uses, replace the stale
scanarg() comment which still described parameters and an err
variable it lost decades ago and fix the delimiter typo plus a
missing space nearby.

No functional change.
