From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> nd->stack[0] is unused until the handling of trailing symlinks and we want to get rid of that. Having fucked that transformation up several times, I went for bloody pedantic series of provably equivalent transformations. Sorry. Step 1: keep nd->depth higher by one in link_path_walk() - increment upon entry, decrement on exits, adjust the arithmetics inside and surround the calls of functions that care about nd->depth value (nd_alloc_stack(), get_link(), put_link()) with decrement/increment pairs.
