Please add a comment there, similar to what is in syscalls.h:
/*
* Kernel code should not call syscalls (i.e., sys_xyzyyz()) directly.
* Instead, use one of the functions which work equivalently, such as
* the ksys_xyzyyz() functions prototyped below.
*/
Once you have done so, feel free to add my
Reviewed-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
tag to this patch.
Thanks,
Dominik
