Functions such as ext4_dirent_csum_verify() and ext4_dirent_csum_set() don't actually operate on a directory entry, but a directory block. And while they take a struct ext4_dir_entry *dirent as an argument, it had better be the first directory at the beginning of the direct block, or things will go very wrong. Rename the following functions so that things make more sense, and remove a lot of confusing casts along the way: ext4_dirent_csum_verify -> ext4_dirblock_csum_verify ext4_dirent_csum_set -> ext4_dirblock_csum_set ext4_dirent_csum -> ext4_dirblock_csum ext4_handle_dirty_dirent_node -> ext4_handle_dirty_dirblock Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <[email protected]>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
