Subject: [PATCH v3 09/24] binfmt_misc: rename Node to struct binfmt_misc_entry
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:33:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-work-binfmt_misc-locking-v3-9-a162f7cb58d6@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-work-binfmt_misc-locking-v3-0-a162f7cb58d6@kernel.org>

The CamelCase Node typedef is a 1997 leftover and hides that this is
a plain struct. Call it what it is: struct binfmt_misc_entry, matching
struct binfmt_misc that it hangs off of and the entry bit and flag
enums. Drop the typedef, switch the size computations in
create_entry() to sizeof(*e) and adjust the comments that still
referred to the old name.

No functional change.
