Subject: [PATCH 04/24] fs: move the putname from filename_create to the callers
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2020 17:58:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200720155902.181712-5-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200720155902.181712-1-hch@lst.de>

This allows reusing the struct filename for retries, and will also allow
pushing the getname up the stack for a few places to allower for better
handling of kernel space filenames.
