Subject: [PATCH v3 07/21] ovl: narrow locking in ovl_create_over_whiteout()
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2025 10:44:18 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250716004725.1206467-8-neil@brown.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250716004725.1206467-1-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.
