From bb4a58bf46473e3e83d84054bbc110db3a0f85e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2006 09:34:15 -0400 Subject: VFS: Add GPL_EXPORTED function vfs_kern_mount() do_kern_mount() does not allow the kernel to use private mount interfaces without exposing the same interfaces to userland. The problem is that the filesystem is referenced by name, thus meaning that it and its mount interface must be registered in the global filesystem list. vfs_kern_mount() passes the struct file_system_type as an explicit parameter in order to overcome this limitation.
