Subject: [PATCH v3 34/50] selinuxfs: new helper for attaching files to tree
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 06:55:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251111065520.2847791-35-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251111065520.2847791-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

allocating dentry after the inode has been set up reduces the amount
of boilerplate - "attach this inode under that name and this parent
or drop inode in case of failure" simplifies quite a few places.
