[PATCH 12/13] cifs_get_link(): bail out in unsafe case

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



->d_revalidate() bails out there, anyway.  It's not enough
to prevent getting into ->get_link() in RCU mode, but that
could happen only in a very contrieved setup.  Not worth
trying to do anything fancy here unless ->d_revalidate()
stops kicking out of RCU mode at least in some cases.
