H A D | namei.c | 463ffb2e Mon Jun 06 15:36:05 CDT 2005 Al Viro <viro@www.linux.org.uk> [PATCH] namei fixes (9/19)
New helper: __follow_mount(struct path *path). Same as follow_mount(), except that we do *not* do mntput() after the first lookup_mnt().
IOW, original path->mnt stays pinned down. We also take care to do dput() before mntput() in the loop body (follow_mount() also needs that reordering, but that will be done later in the series).
The following are equivalent, assuming that path.mnt == x: (1) follow_mount(&path.mnt, &path.dentry) (2) __follow_mount(&path); if (path->mnt != x) mntput(x); (3) if (__follow_mount(&path)) mntput(x);
Callers of follow_mount() in __link_path_walk() converted to (2).
Equivalent transformation + fix for too-late-mntput() race in __follow_mount() loop.
