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. This one fixes a couple of issues I found with the previous incarnation and split out the filesystem parts into individual patches. Thanks, Miklos --- Anand Avati (1): fuse: drop dentry on failed revalidate Miklos Szeredi (8): vfs: check submounts and drop atomically vfs: check unlinked ancestors before mount afs: use check_submounts_and_drop() gfs2: use check_submounts_and_drop() nfs: use check_submounts_and_drop() sysfs: use check_submounts_and_drop() fuse: use d_materialise_unique() fuse: clean up return in fuse_dentry_revalidate() --- fs/afs/dir.c | 10 +-- fs/dcache.c | 192 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/fuse/dir.c | 97 ++++++++++++------------- fs/gfs2/dentry.c | 9 +-- fs/internal.h | 1 + fs/namespace.c | 9 +++ fs/nfs/dir.c | 9 ++- fs/sysfs/dir.c | 20 +++--- include/linux/dcache.h | 1 + 9 files changed, 267 insertions(+), 81 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
