[PATCH 1/4] fs: proc: store PDE()->data into inode->i_private

From: Muchun Song
Date: Mon Nov 01 2021 - 06:04:24 EST


PDE_DATA(inode) is introduced to get user private data and hide the
layout of struct proc_dir_entry. The inode->i_private is used to do
the same thing as well. Save a copy of user private data to inode->
i_private when proc inode is allocated. This means the user also can
get their private data by inode->i_private.
