Subject: [PATCH RFCv2 1/3] fs: introduce helper d_path_fast()
Date: Fri, 28 May 2021 19:39:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210528113951.6225-2-justin.he@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210528113951.6225-1-justin.he@arm.com>

This helper is similar to d_path except that it doesn't take any
seqlock/spinlock. It is typical for debugging purpose.
