Hi all. I have a query regarding lookups in VFS.Im using version 2.6.7. open_namei calls path_lookup, in case of a plain open, which in turn calls __emul_lookup_dentry, if the path is an absolute path. In __emul_lookup_dentry theres a call to path_walk which calls link_path_walk, now inside link_path_lookup, nd->dentry->d_inode is being used to arrive at the inode. but i cant figure out where we set nd->dentry->inode before we use it here. Thanks Shehjar __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
