[PATCH v2 34/35] vfs: remove open_flags from d_real()

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Mon May 07 2018 - 04:42:03 EST


Opening regular files on overlayfs is now handled via ovl_open(). Remove
the now unused "open_flags" argument from d_op->d_real() and the d_real()
helper.

d_real: overlay/union type filesystems implement this method to return one of

+ the underlying dentries hidden by the overlay. It is used in two
different modes:

- Called from open it may need to copy-up the file depending on the
- supplied open flags. This mode is selected with a non-zero flags
- argument. In this mode the d_real method can return an error.
-
Called from file_dentry() it returns the real dentry matching the inode
argument. The real dentry may be from a lower layer already copied up,
but still referenced from the file. This mode is selected with a
- non-NULL inode argument. This will always succeed.
-
- With NULL inode and zero flags the topmost real underlying dentry is
- returned. This will always succeed.
+ non-NULL inode argument.

- This method is never called with both non-NULL inode and non-zero flags.
+ With NULL inode the topmost real underlying dentry is returned.

Each dentry has a pointer to its parent dentry, as well as a hash list
of child dentries. Child dentries are basically like files in a
