[PATCH 1/4] Unionfs: use first writable branch (fix/cleanup)

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

 



Cleanup code in ->create, ->symlink, and ->mknod: refactor common code into
helper functions.  Also, this allows writing to multiple branches again,
which was broken by an earlier patch.
