Subject: [PATCH 07/20] ovl: narrow locking in ovl_create_over_whiteout()
Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2025 09:03:37 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250710232109.3014537-8-neil@brown.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250710232109.3014537-1-neil@brown.name>
Unlock the parents immediately after the rename, and use
ovl_cleanup_unlocked() for cleanup, which takes a separate lock.
This makes way for future changes where locks are taken on individual
dentries rather than the whole directory.
