From 85bbffcad7307e2ca6136be657cc21b0e1c42241 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 09:12:50 -0500 Subject: vfs: clean up argument list for vfs_create() As Neil points out: "I would be in favour of dropping the "dir" arg because it is always d_inode(dentry->d_parent) which is stable." ...and... "Also *every* caller of vfs_create() passes ".excl = true". So maybe we don't need that arg at all." Drop both arguments from vfs_create() and fix up the callers.
