[PATCH 08/16] fs: add vfs_get_fscaps()

Seth Forshee (DigitalOcean) sforshee at kernel.org
Wed Nov 29 21:50:26 UTC 2023


Provide a type-safe interface for retrieving filesystem capabilities and
a generic implementation suitable for most filesystems. Also add an
internal interface, __vfs_get_fscaps(), which skips security checks for
later use from the capability code.
