Subject: [PATCH] Fix access to the dentry
|
||
|
|
||
|
Since Linux 2.6.20, the dentry pointer is no longer stored in
|
||
|
file->f_dentry, but in file->f_path.dentry. Until Linux 3.19, there
|
||
|
was a compatibility macro which made the change transparent, but this
|
||
|
macro has now been removed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Since we probably don't care about compatibility with kernels older
|
||
|
than 2.6.20, this commit takes the simple approach of using
|
||
|
file->f_path.dentry. This will work with any kernel >= 2.6.20.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Submitted upstream at https://github.com/nicupavel/emlog/pull/3.
