From 7b1742eb06ead6d02a6cf3c44587088e5392d1aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 12:44:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] vfs: make argument of d_real_inode() const d_op->d_real() leaves the dentry alone except if the third argument is non-zero. Unfortunately very difficult to explain to the compiler without a cast.
