Then, just cleanup code, and let's use strict checking version. Removing strange fallthrou, something like the following. static struct dentry *fat_fh_to_dentry_nostale(struct super_block *sb, struct fid *fh, int fh_len, int fh_type) { struct inode *inode = NULL; struct fat_fid *fid = (struct fat_fid *)fh; loff_t i_pos; switch (fh_type) { case FILEID_FAT_WITHOUT_PARENT: if (fh_len < FAT_FID_SIZE_WITHOUT_PARENT) return NULL; break; case FILEID_FAT_WITH_PARENT: if (fh_len < FAT_FID_SIZE_WITH_PARENT) return NULL; break; default: return NULL; } i_pos = fid->i_pos_hi; i_pos = (i_pos << 32) | (fid->i_pos_low); inode = __fat_nfs_get_inode(sb, 0, fid->i_gen, i_pos); return d_obtain_alias(inode); } -- OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- 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
