Subject: [PATCH 10/12] ovl: narrow locking in ovl_check_rename_whiteout()
Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2025 08:55:06 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250624230636.3233059-11-neil@brown.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250624230636.3233059-1-neil@brown.name>
ovl_check_rename_whiteout() now only holds the directory lock when
needed, and takes it again if necessary.
This makes way for future changes where locks are taken on individual
dentries rather than the whole directory.
