From 2d902671ce1cd98cdc88d78c481889a1b2996101 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2016 08:53:27 +0200 Subject: vfs: merge .d_select_inode() into .d_real() The two methods essentially do the same: find the real dentry/inode belonging to an overlay dentry. The difference is in the usage: vfs_open() uses ->d_select_inode() and expects the function to perform copy-up if necessary based on the open flags argument. file_dentry() uses ->d_real() passing in the overlay dentry as well as the underlying inode. vfs_rename() uses ->d_select_inode() but passes zero flags. ->d_real() with a zero inode would have worked just as well here. This patch merges the functionality of ->d_select_inode() into ->d_real() by adding an 'open_flags' argument to the latter. [Al Viro] Make the signature of d_real() match that of ->d_real() again. And constify the inode argument, while we are at it.
