[PATCH 07/46] jfs: dont overwrite dentry name in d_revalidate

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

 



Use vfat's method for dealing with negative dentries to preserve case,
rather than overwrite dentry name in d_revalidate, which is a bit ugly
and also gets in the way of doing lock-free path walking.
