From 9a53c3a783c2fa9b969628e65695c11c3e51e673 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Hansen Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2006 23:29:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] r/o bind mounts: unlink: monitor i_nlink When a filesystem decrements i_nlink to zero, it means that a write must be performed in order to drop the inode from the filesystem. We're shortly going to have keep filesystems from being remounted r/o between the time that this i_nlink decrement and that write occurs. So, add a little helper function to do the decrements. We'll tie into it in a bit to note when i_nlink hits zero.
