Subject: [PATCH][RFC][CFT] kill vfs_submount(), already
Date: Sat, 3 May 2025 22:29:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250503212925.GZ2023217@ZenIV> (raw)
The last remaining user of vfs_submount() (tracefs) is easy to convert
to fs_context_for_submount(); do that and bury that thing, along with
SB_SUBMOUNT
If nobody objects, I'm going to throw that into the mount-related pile;
alternatively, that could be split into kernel/trace.c part (in invariant
branch, to be pulled by tracefs folks and into the mount pile before
the rest of the patch). Preferences?
