(i) The prototypes for free_vfsmnt(), alloc_vfsmnt(), do_kern_mount() so far occurred in several individual c files. Now they are in <linux/mount.h>. (ii) do_kern_mount() has a third argument name that is typically a constant. It is called with "rootfs", "nfsd", type->name, "capifs", "usbdevfs", "binfmt_misc" etc. So, it should have a prototype that expresses this: do_kern_mount(const char *fstype, int flags, const char *name, void *data); This makes the ugly cast - return do_kern_mount(type->name, 0, (char *)type->name, NULL); + return do_kern_mount(type->name, 0, type->name, NULL); go away. Now do_kern_mount() calls type->get_sb(), so also get_sb() must have a const third argument. That is what the patch below does. If I am not mistaken, precisely two filesystems do not treat this argument as a constant, namely afs and cifs. A separate patch gives some cleanup there.
