What is the semantics of that LOOKUP_NONBLOCK thing and what makes you think that it will *not* block prior to reaching do_last()? LOOKUP_RCU that was originally there? Sorry, wrong. RCU pathwalk will happily fall back to non-RCU one if it can do so without restart from scratch. And proceed to lock directories, hit the disk over nbd over wet string, do automounts, etc. Anything and everything. IOW, this is complete BS and had been such for at least ~5 years. There *is* a reason for code review. Or, at least, asking somebody familiar with the code you are working with whether some assumption you are making is true or false. Me, for example, in our conversation regarding earlier parts of aio.git queue about a week ago. Or at any other point.
