[PATCH v2 2/8] fscrypt: Drop d_revalidate if key is available

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

 



fscrypt dentries are always valid once the key is available.  Since the
key cannot be removed without evicting the dentry, we don't need to keep
retrying to revalidate it.
