Subject: [PATCH v3 03/13] docs: path-lookup: update path_mountpoint() part
Date: Thu, 27 May 2021 17:16:08 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210527091618.287093-4-foxhlchen@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210527091618.287093-1-foxhlchen@gmail.com>

path_mountpoint() doesn't exist anymore. Have been folded
into path_lookup_at when flag is set with LOOKUP_MOUNTPOINT.
Check commit: commit 161aff1d93abf0e ("LOOKUP_MOUNTPOINT: fold
path_mountpointat() into path_lookupat()")
