can someone please give me a short description what happens when path_walk encounteres a symbolic link. i am particularly interested in the following example: there are two files: /a/b and /c/d where /c/d is a symbolic link to /a/b. now when i execute path_walk on /c/d and retrieve resulting dentry, what wil dentry->d_parent chain point to ie. will nd->dentry->d_parent be dentry of /a or /c? thanks a lot lynx - Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
