Subject: [PATCH] proc: Do not invalidate dentries with submounts
Date: Thu, 06 Dec 2007 03:22:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1bq94t951.fsf@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20071205143518.GA24886@iris.sw.ru> (Denis V. Lunev's message of "Wed, 5 Dec 2007 17:35:18 +0300")
If the dcache path to a mount point is ever broken it becomes
impossible to unmount it, and we leak a vfsmount. Therefore it is not
valid to invalidate dentries with mount points at or below them.
This patch uses the have_submounts test as the other network
filesystem revalidate routines do.
