From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: NeilBrown Subject: [PATCH 16/20] VFS/namei: enable RCU-walk when following symlinks. Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2015 13:37:40 +1100 Message-ID: <20150323023740.8161.65198.stgit@notabene.brown> References: <20150323023258.8161.32467.stgit@notabene.brown> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org To: Al Viro Return-path: In-Reply-To: <20150323023258.8161.32467.stgit@notabene.brown> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-fsdevel.vger.kernel.org Now that follow_link handles LOOKUP_RCU, we do not need to 'unlazy_walk' when a symlink is found. As we remain in RCU-walk mode, dentry->d_inode can change so the BUG_ON() assertions are no longer appropriate.
