Subject: vfs: make argument of d_real_inode() const
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fdcc087f01848d5afdb9f2c9b2e9980394a98318;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

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.
