Here's a series for fixing issues with d_drop on a directory dentry with children and adding support for such dropped directories in fuse. I tested the fuse part, but not the other filesystems (AFS, GFS2, NFS, SYSFS). The changes to filesystems are pretty trivial, though. Thanks, Miklos --- Anand Avati (1): fuse: drop dentry on failed revalidate Miklos Szeredi (3): vfs: check submounts and drop atomically vfs: check unlinked ancestors before mount fuse: use d_materialise_unique() --- fs/afs/dir.c | 6 +- fs/dcache.c | 159 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/fuse/dir.c | 76 ++++++++++------------- fs/gfs2/dentry.c | 6 +- fs/internal.h | 1 + fs/namespace.c | 9 +++ fs/nfs/dir.c | 10 ++-- fs/sysfs/dir.c | 6 +- include/linux/dcache.h | 1 + 9 files changed, 216 insertions(+), 58 deletions(-) -- 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
