[PATCH] sanitize lookup_hash prototype
->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to
pass down lookup intents. Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't
actually pass this one down. For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct
nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only
used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation. All other
callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the
lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives
the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it. All callers already have
the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem.
At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there
are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage. Before it can
actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.
