    [PATCH] path_lookup() · a3806a80
    Alexander Viro authored
    	New helper:
    path_lookup(name, flags, nd)
    {
    	int err = 0;
    	if (path_init(name, flags, nd))
    		err = path_walk(name, nd);
    	return err;
    }
    
    Places doing that by hand converted to calling it.
    
    Actually, quite a few of them were doing equivalent of __user_walk()
    (getname() and if it was successful - call path_lookup() and putname()).
    Converted to calling __user_walk().
