Subject: [PATCH 04/41] VFS: Remove unnecessary micro-optimization in cached_lookup()
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:19:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1256152779-10054-5-git-send-email-vaurora@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1256152779-10054-4-git-send-email-vaurora@redhat.com>

From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@suse.de>

d_lookup() takes rename_lock which is a seq_lock.  This is so cheap
it's not worth calling lockless __d_lookup() first from
cache_lookup().  Rename cached_lookup() to cache_lookup() while we're
there.
