It is path->dentry, all right, but the question is how'd it get that way. Look: we got that nd.path.dentry out of path_lookup() with LOOKUP_FOLLOW as flags. Then we'd passed it through do_new_mount() to do_add_mount() without changes. And went through /* Something was mounted here while we slept */ while (d_mountpoint(nd->path.dentry) && follow_down(&nd->path.mnt, &nd->path.dentry)) ; -- 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
