Maybe I missed it, but how does this guard against kernel stack overflow and how does it interact with the "sb->s_stack_depth > FILESYSTEM_MAX_STACK_DEPTH" stacking limit that overlayfs and ecryptfs use? As far as I can tell from a quick glance, someone could just stack lots of FUSE files on top of each other and cause kernel stack overflow that way, and that's nasty. -- 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
