From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 10:44:20 +0000 (+0200) Subject: vfs: make argument of d_real_inode() const X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7b1742eb06ead6d02a6cf3c44587088e5392d1aa;p=linux-beck.git vfs: make argument of d_real_inode() const d_op->d_real() leaves the dentry alone except if the third argument is non-zero. Unfortunately very difficult to explain to the compiler without a cast.
