[RFC PATCH 5/5] Directory cache invalidation

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

 



Changes to keep dirent cache uptodate.

Dirent cache stored as part of topmost directory's struct file needs to
be marked stale whenever there is a modification in any of the directories
that is part of the union. Modifications(like addition/deletion of new
entries) to a directory can occur from places like mkdir, rmdir, mknod etc.
