From 4aa32895c3f924c34b9275ca28be534a8a0c624b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2013 07:16:41 -0700 Subject: fs: remove vfs_follow_link For a long time no filesystem has been using vfs_follow_link, and as seen by recent filesystem submissions any new use is accidental as well. Remove vfs_follow_link, document the replacement in Documentation/filesystems/porting and also rename __vfs_follow_link to match its only caller better.
