[PATCH 1/4] kernfs: make kernfs_get_inode() public

[Tejun Heo]

Move kernfs_get_inode() prototype from fs/kernfs/kernfs-internal.h to
include/linux/kernfs.h.  It obtains the matching inode for a
kernfs_node.

It will be used by cgroup for inode based permission checks for now
but is generally useful.

Hello, Greg.

Given that cgroup will be the first and only, for now, user, I think
it'd be the eaiest to route this with the related cgroup patches
through the cgroup tree.  What do you think?

Thanks.
