Subject: [git pull] more ->lookup() cleanups
Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2018 01:18:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181025001857.GD32577@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (raw)

d_splice_alias() just fine. Simplify a couple of such cases caught
this cycle and document d_splice_alias() intended use.
The following changes since commit 5b394b2ddf0347bef56e50c69a58773c94343ff3:
