That makes auditing difficult. Recently, the importance of saving operation log is increasing, and it is convenient to log it using d_path(). But due to "bind mount" functionality, it is impossible to uniquely determine which pathname was requested. It would be nice if VFS functions receive not only "dentry" but also "vfsmount" parameter so that auditing functions can easily calculate the requested pathname. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
