Subject: [PATCH 06/12] vfs: make argument of d_real_inode() const
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 14:19:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1474028371-21288-7-git-send-email-mszeredi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1474028371-21288-1-git-send-email-mszeredi@redhat.com>

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.
