Subject: [patch] jfs: don't overwrite dentry name in d_revalidate
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 18:44:13 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101111074413.GB10159@amd> (raw)
Instead use fatfs's method for dealing with negative dentries to
preserve case, rather than overwrite dentry name in d_revalidate, which
is a bit ugly and also gets in the way of doing lock-free path walking.
