Subject: [PATCH 11/20] VFS/namei: use terminate_walk when symlink lookup fails.
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2015 13:37:39 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150323023739.8161.92619.stgit@notabene.brown> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150323023258.8161.32467.stgit@notabene.brown>

Currently following a symlink never uses rcu-walk, so
terminate_walk isn't needed.
That will change in a future patch.  In preparation, change
some
  path_put_condtional()
  path_put()
sequences to
  path_to_nameidata()
  terminate_walk()

These sequence are identical when in ref-walk, and correct when in
rcu-walk.

Also change two path_put() calls to equivalent terminate_walk().
