Subject: [PATCH] ecryptfs: lower root result must be adirectory
Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2007 07:06:21 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <873b4rvsci.fsf@sw.ru> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 278 bytes --]
patch against lastest mm tree.
- Currently after path_lookup succeed we dot't have any guarantie what
it is DIR. This must be explicitly demanded.
- path_lookup can't return negative dentry, So inode check is useless.
