Subject: [PATCH v4 09/17] vfs: add struct createdata for passing arguments to vfs_create()
Date: Mon, 03 Nov 2025 07:52:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251103-dir-deleg-ro-v4-9-961b67adee89@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251103-dir-deleg-ro-v4-0-961b67adee89@kernel.org>
vfs_create() has grown an uncomfortably long argument list, and a
following patch will add another. Convert it to take a new struct
createdata pointer and fix up the callers to pass one in.
