From 3a18ef5c1b3935cb05888fc37964321f7bd6231d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominik Brodowski Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2018 11:34:40 +0100 Subject: fs: add ksys_umount() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_umount() Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel call to the sys_umount() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as ksys_umount(). In the near future, the only fs-external caller of ksys_umount() should be converted to call do_umount() directly. Then, ksys_umount() can be moved within sys_umount() again. This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
