After switching to non-RCU mode, we want nd->depth to match the number of entries in nd->stack[] that need eventual path_put(). legitimize_links() takes care of that on failures; unfortunately, failure exits added for LOOKUP_CACHED do not. We could add the logics for that into those failure exits, both in try_to_unlazy() and in try_to_unlazy_next(), but since both checks are immediately followed by legitimize_links() and there's no calls of legitimize_links() other than those two... It's easier to move the check (and required handling of nd->depth on failure) into legitimize_links() itself. [caught by Jens: ... and since we are zeroing ->depth here, we need to do drop_links() first] Fixes: 6c6ec2b0a3e0 "fs: add support for LOOKUP_CACHED" Tested-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
