From 3d18f80ce181ba27f37d0ec1c550b22acb01dd49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 14:29:52 +1000 Subject: VFS: rename kern_path_locked() and related functions. kern_path_locked() is now only used to prepare for removing an object from the filesystem (and that is the only credible reason for wanting a positive locked dentry). Thus it corresponds to kern_path_create() and so should have a corresponding name. Unfortunately the name "kern_path_create" is somewhat misleading as it doesn't actually create anything. The recently added simple_start_creating() provides a better pattern I believe. The "start" can be matched with "end" to bracket the creating or removing. So this patch changes names: kern_path_locked -> start_removing_path kern_path_create -> start_creating_path user_path_create -> start_creating_user_path user_path_locked_at -> start_removing_user_path_at done_path_create -> end_creating_path and also introduces end_removing_path() which is identical to end_creating_path(). __start_removing_path (which was __kern_path_locked) is enhanced to call mnt_want_write() for consistency with the start_creating_path().
