[PATCH v2] fs: rename S_KERNEL_FILE
From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Fri Jan 28 2022 - 02:47:43 EST
S_KERNEL_FILE is grossly misnamed. We have plenty of files hold open by
the kernel kernel using filp_open. This flag OTOH signals the inode as
being a special snowflake that cachefiles holds onto that can't be
unlinked because of ..., erm, pixie dust. So clearly mark it as such.
