From f91a704f7161c2cf0fcd41fa9fbec4355b813fff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amir Goldstein Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2023 17:19:46 +0300 Subject: fs: prepare for stackable filesystems backing file helpers In preparation for factoring out some backing file io helpers from overlayfs, move backing_file_open() into a new file fs/backing-file.c and header. Add a MAINTAINERS entry for stackable filesystems and add a Kconfig FS_STACK which stackable filesystems need to select. For now, the backing_file struct, the backing_file alloc/free functions and the backing_file_real_path() accessor remain internal to file_table.c. We may change that in the future.
