Subject: (struct dentry *)->vfsmnt;
Date: Fri, 09 Mar 2001 15:20:27 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3AA9653B.B691C8F2@sgi.com> (raw)
Could someone enlighten me as to the purpose of this field in the
dentry struct? There is no elucidating comment in the header for this
particular field and the name/type only indicate it is pointing to
a list of vfsmounts. Can a dentry belong to more than one vfsmount?
If I have a 'dentry' and simply want to determine what the absolute
path from root is, in the 'd_path' macro, would I use 'rootmnt' of my
current->fs as the 'vfsmount' as well?
Thanks, in advance...
-linda
