Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/8] move mnt_want_write() into open_namei_create()
Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2007 11:13:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070928181331.E9388A9C@kernel> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070928181330.27B367AC@kernel>


In a moment, we're going to make may_open() stop doing
the mnt_want/drop_write() pair.  Doing this first makes
the next patch simpler.
