Subject: NFS: Add helper functions for allocating filehandles and fattr structs
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2d36bfde8565b315e624302d12da5a7c9d195522;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

NFS: Add helper functions for allocating filehandles and fattr structs

NFS Filehandles and struct fattr are really too large to be allocated on
the stack. This patch adds in a couple of helper functions to allocate them
dynamically instead.
