Al, are you > happy with Miklos's v2 version of "fs: add file_dentrY()" patch? I'm not really happy, but I guess we'll have to live with that approach. I would still like to point out that *any* use of file_dentry() (or file->f_path.dentry, for that matter) is a serious red flag - odds are, the code using it is broken, possibly by design. I still don't understand the locking in ext4 crypto, and I'm not at all convinced that it is correct ;-/ OTOH, there are filesystems where we really need dentry and (hopefully) treat it sanely enough, so consider that helper and method ACKed. I can take it via vfs.git, or leave it to ext4.git, or do some combination thereof (e.g. the infrastructure goes into never-rebased branch in vfs.git, with ext4/btrfs/nfs merging from it). Up to you... Al, still bloody unhappy about the whole pile of worms... -- 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
