[RFC][PATCH v4 04/69] follow_automount() doesn't need the entire nameidata

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

 



From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Only the address of ->total_link_count and the flags.
And fix an off-by-one is ELOOP detection - make it
consistent with symlink following, where we check if
the pre-increment value has reached 40, rather than
check the post-increment one.

[kudos to Christian Brauner for spotted braino]
