From b8faf035ea9d0011b04856a8198e2e212d93346a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2014 17:06:29 +1000 Subject: VFS: allow ->d_manage() to declare -EISDIR in rcu_walk mode. In REF-walk mode, ->d_manage can return -EISDIR to indicate that the dentry is not really a mount trap (or even a mount point) and that any mounts or any DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT flag should be ignored. RCU-walk mode doesn't currently support this, so if there is a dentry with DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT set but which shouldn't be a mount-trap, lookup_fast() will always drop in REF-walk mode. With this patch, an -EISDIR from ->d_manage will always cause mounts and automounts to be ignored, both in REF-walk and RCU-walk.
