Subject: [PATCH v3 16/21] ovl: narrow locking on ovl_remove_and_whiteout()
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2025 10:44:27 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250716004725.1206467-17-neil@brown.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250716004725.1206467-1-neil@brown.name>
This code:
performs a lookup_upper
creates a whiteout object
renames the whiteout over the result of the lookup
The create and the rename must be locked separately for proposed
directory locking changes. This patch takes a first step of moving the
lookup out of the locked region. A subsequent patch will separate the
create from the rename.
