Yes it was. > Maybe it would make sense to just call container_create() at that > point directly, which would allow us more parameters. I do fear that that could become a maintenance nightmare. For instance right now there's the call to fsnotify_mkdir(). Other such hooks might be placed at vfs_mkdir, which we'd then likely want to have placed in our container_mkdir() and container_clone() fns. And of course may_create() is static inline in fs/namei.c. It's trivial, but still if it changes we'd want to change the version in kernel/container.c as well. What would be the main advantage of doing it this way? Do you consider the extra subys->auto_setup() hook to be avoidable bloat? thanks, -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
