Subject: [PATCH 02/27] fs: port mnt_idmap_{get,put}() to const mnt_idmap
Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2026 14:14:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901-work-idmap-const-v1-2-54ccd48e100b@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901-work-idmap-const-v1-0-54ccd48e100b@kernel.org>

struct mnt_idmap is immutable once alloc_mnt_idmap() has set it up. The
only thing that changes afterwards is the reference count. Model
mnt_idmap_{get,put}() after struct cred's reference count handling and
take a const pointer.

This model is forced upon us because ceph stores the idmapping in mds
requests and need to be able to take and put references.

mnt_idmap_get() keeps returning a non-const pointer for now because
struct vfsmount still stores a non-const pointer. We can only change
that at the end of the series once every user of mnt_idmap() has been
ported.
