[PATCH v2 04/15] initramfs: remove unnecessary symlinks processing shortcut

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

 



Special handling of symlinks in do_header() assumes that name and body
entries are sequential and reads them together. This shortcut has no
real performance benefits, but it complicates changes to the state
machine.

Make handling of symlinks more similar to a regular files. Store name
in name_buf and destination in symlink_buf.
