[ 34/98] saner proc_get_inode() calling conventions

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

 



3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d3d009cb965eae7e002ea5badf603ea8f4c34915 upstream.

Make it drop the pde in *all* cases when no new reference to it is
put into an inode - both when an inode had already been set up
(as we were already doing) and when inode allocation has failed.
Makes for simpler logics in callers...
