Subject: [PATCH 01/12] docs: path-lookup: update follow_managed() part
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2021 15:24:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210126072443.33066-2-foxhlchen@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210126072443.33066-1-foxhlchen@gmail.com>
No follow_managed() anymore, handle_mounts(),
traverse_mounts(), will do the job.
see commit: 9deed3ebca244663530782631834e706a86a8c8f
