Subject: [PATCH v5 1/3] kobject: Export kobj_ns_grab_current() and kobj_ns_drop()
Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2018 14:27:11 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180122222713.13197-2-bart.vanassche@wdc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180122222713.13197-1-bart.vanassche-Sjgp3cTcYWE@public.gmane.org>
Make it possible to call these two functions from a kernel module.
Note: despite their name, these two functions can be used meaningfully
independent of kobjects. A later patch will add calls to these
functions from the SRP driver because this patch series modifies the
SRP driver such that it can hold a reference to a namespace that can
last longer than the lifetime of the process through which the
namespace reference was obtained.
