I'm fixing that pile of crap (along with the NFS exports one and, hopefully, rename mess as well). HOWEVER, I am not going to take over the damn thing - David has violated the 11th commandment (Thou Shalt Never Volunteer), so he gets to joy of learning that codebase and taking care of it from now on.
Same scenario on link(2) ends up with * ST_LINKFILE created, inserted into the link chain and left around, without being present in any hash chain * target becoming positive hashed dentry, as if link(2) has succeeded, so dcache lookups will be finding it (for a while) * unlink(2) on source will have very interesting effects, what with the attempts to move ST_FILE entry into the directory presumed to contain ST_LINKFILE one, removing ST_LINKFILE from it at the same time. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-m68k" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
