As for struct dentry, there are: d_hash - this is entry, head is bucket in global dentry cache hash. d_lru - this is entry, head is dcache LRU list. d_child - this is entry, head is parent's d_subdirs. d_subdirs - this is head, entries are children's d_child. d_alias - this is entry, head is inodes i_dentry. I didn't use vfsmount structs yet, but mnt_hash is entry for global hash and mnt_mounts/mnt_child is a head resp. entry for list of children (mounts in a subtree). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@ucw.cz> -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
