I simply dislike the fact that ->d_real() is getting more complex. I'd prefer d_real to die, which is unfortunately not so easy, as you've explained. But if we can make it somewhat less complex (remove the inode parameter) instead of more complex (add a vfsmount * parameter) then that's already a big win in my eyes. Thanks, Miklos
