That's fine - when/if subdomain is submitted upstream and when/if subdomain wants to use that hook, you can then submit a patch to push the dentry down to the new hook (it isn't presently available in the immediate caller i.e. ext3_new_inode, as nothing else needs it, so you'd have to patch that as well). But it is pointless to do it now in the absence of such a user. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency
