OK, so path_walk() gives us (vfsmnt of /xxx, dentry of /dos).
Then we do down() on ->i_sem of inode of /dos. OK.
We find dentry of /dos/c (mountpoint)
It's positive, so we drop ->i_sem of parent.
Dentry is a mountpoint.
We call __follow_down(). Since nothing is mounted under xxx we get
unchanged... What the *?
OK, I'm an idiot. Linus, please apply the following:
--- fs/namei.c.old Wed Mar 14 16:37:45 2001
error = -ELOOP;
if (flag & O_NOFOLLOW)
goto exit_dput;
- do __follow_down(&nd->mnt,&dentry); while(d_mountpoint(dentry));
+ while (__follow_down(&nd->mnt,&dentry) && d_mountpoint(dentry));
}
error = -ENOENT;
if (!dentry->d_inode)
Cheers,
Al
