Re: [PATCH] [RFC] xfs: add RENAME_WHITEOUT support

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

 



Hi Dave,

sorry my delay in take a look into it.

The code doesn't build, due the missing declaration of function
xfs_finish_inode_setup() inside xfs_rename_get_wino().

I couldn't find any reference to this function either. Is there something I'm
missing here?

Cheers.
