[rfc][patch] fs: mntput might sleep

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

 



I missed this once or twice, so can we put might_sleep check into
mntput?  Or does anyone call it from atomic context to drop a known
not-last reference? (if so then maybe the caller could be rewritten).
