[PATCH][RESEND] vfs: Make __d_materialise_dentry() set the materialised dentry name correctly

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

Make __d_materialise_dentry() set the materialised dentry name correctly by
flipping the arguments to switch_names().

switch_names() is lazy: if both names are internal to their dentries, it'll
overwrite that of the first dentry with that of the second, and won't update
that of the second.

In the case of __d_materialise_dentry(), the second is an already extant
anonymous dentry that we want to insert into the tree in place of the dentry we
just looked up[*].  However, the dentry we just looked up carries the name we
actually want to use.

[*] This is used by NFS to join a mount of a subtree into a mount of a tree
nearer the root when the two meet, where both mounts share a superblock and
thus a set of dentries.
