Subject: [PATCH v2 01/35] vfs: add path_open()
Date: Mon, 7 May 2018 10:37:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180507083807.28792-2-mszeredi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180507083807.28792-1-mszeredi@redhat.com>
Currently opening an overlay file results in:
- the real file on the underlying layer being opened
- f_path being set to the overlay {mount, dentry} pair
This patch adds a new helper that allows the above to be explicitly
performed. I.e. it's the same as dentry_open(), except the underlying
inode to open is given as a separate argument.
This is in preparation for stacking I/O operations on overlay files.
Later, when implicit opening is removed, dentry_open() can be implemented
by just calling path_open().
