Thanks for the feedback. This was definitely one of the things that I
didn't like about this patch. The original code doesn't care if the
parent nodeid is valid, which is why I kept the old behavior as a
fallback if lookup failed. I managed to console myself that it wasn't
any worse, but would love to remove that if it's okay to fail the mount
at this point.
The other thing that was annoying me was my refactoring of the
fuse_dentry_revalidate() function. I'm annoyed by having the lookedup
boolean pointer as an argument to fuse_dentry_revalidate_lookup, but
couldn't quite work out how to handle the weird nlookup manipulations in
fuse_dentry_revalidate and fuse_fill_super_submount without it.
