Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 05/12] fs/configfs: add 'fill_subsystem' and 'clear_subsystem' callbacks
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 10:36:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260619-configfs-ns-v2-5-82fd7094b8dc@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260619-configfs-ns-v2-0-82fd7094b8dc@kernel.org>
When creating a new per-namespace filesystem static initialisation
doesn't work, so implement a 'fill_subsystem' and 'clear_subsystem'
callbacks to 'struct configfs_subsystem' to allow for every driver
to populate the subsystem structure dynamicall.
