Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/2] nscommon: simplify initialization
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 11:27:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903152740.890893-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090328-espresso-reveler-1a6b@gregkh>
From: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 5612ff3ec588be09f11a9424db6d1186bcdeb3fa ]
There's a lot of information that namespace implementers don't need to
know about at all. Encapsulate this all in the initialization helper.
