Hi Al, Today's linux-next merge of the vfs tree got a conflict in fs/namei.c between commit 890458a43dbd ("path: New helpers path_get_pin/path_put_unpin for path pin") from the nfsd tree and commit 894bc8c4662b ("namei: remove restrictions on nesting depth") from the vfs tree. I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary (no action is required). cheers diff --cc fs/namei.c index d41a29efca67,2dad0eaf91d3..000000000000 --- a/fs/namei.c +++ b/fs/namei.c @@@ -492,32 -492,7 +492,33 @@@ void path_put(const struct path *path } EXPORT_SYMBOL(path_put); +/** + * path_get_pin - get a reference to a path's dentry + * and pin to path's vfsmnt + * @path: path to get the reference to + * @p: the fs_pin pin to vfsmnt + */ +void path_get_pin(struct path *path, struct fs_pin *p) +{ + dget(path->dentry); + pin_insert_group(p, path->mnt, NULL); +} +EXPORT_SYMBOL(path_get_pin); + +/** + * path_put_unpin - put a reference to a path's dentry + * and remove pin to path's vfsmnt + * @path: path to put the reference to + * @p: the fs_pin removed from vfsmnt + */ +void path_put_unpin(struct path *path, struct fs_pin *p) +{ + dput(path->dentry); + pin_remove(p); +} +EXPORT_SYMBOL(path_put_unpin); + + #define EMBEDDED_LEVELS 2 struct nameidata { struct path path; struct qstr last; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
