I realize that this is how vfs_link() is written, but I really wonder if we should turn that if (foo->i_sb != bar->i_sb) into BUG_ON() in both. Their callers have vfsmounts and ought to do the vfsmount-level check anyway, so running into *that* -EXDEV should be impossible. -- 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
