From 794ebcea865bff47231de89269e9d542121ab7be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Brennan Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2021 10:51:42 -0700 Subject: namei: Standardize callers of filename_lookup() filename_lookup() has two variants, one which drops the caller's reference to filename (filename_lookup), and one which does not (__filename_lookup). This can be confusing as it's unusual to drop a caller's reference. Remove filename_lookup, rename __filename_lookup to filename_lookup, and convert all callers. The cost is a few slightly longer functions, but the clarity is greater. [AV: consuming a reference is not at all unusual, actually; look at e.g. do_mkdirat(), for example. It's more that we want non-consuming variant for close relative of that function...] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/YS+dstZ3xfcLxhoB@zeniv-ca.linux.org.uk/ Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Al Viro Signed-off-by: Stephen Brennan Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- fs/fs_parser.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'fs/fs_parser.c') diff --git a/fs/fs_parser.c b/fs/fs_parser.c index 980d44fd3a36..3df07c0e32b3 100644 --- a/fs/fs_parser.c +++ b/fs/fs_parser.c @@ -165,7 +165,6 @@ int fs_lookup_param(struct fs_context *fc, return invalf(fc, "%s: not usable as path", param->key); } - f->refcnt++; /* filename_lookup() drops our ref. */ ret = filename_lookup(param->dirfd, f, flags, _path, NULL); if (ret < 0) { errorf(fc, "%s: Lookup failure for '%s'", param->key, f->name); -- cgit v1.2.3
