Subject: [PATCH v2 09/50] procfs: make /self and /thread_self dentries persistent
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:45:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251028004614.393374-10-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251028004614.393374-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

... and there's no need to remember those pointers anywhere - ->kill_sb()
no longer needs to bother since kill_anon_super() will take care of
them anyway and proc_pid_readdir() only wants the inumbers, which
we had in a couple of static variables all along.
