From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Al Viro Subject: [PATCH v3 101/110] namei: make put_link() RCU-safe Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 19:08:01 +0100 Message-ID: <1431367690-5223-101-git-send-email-viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> References: <20150511180650.GA4147@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Cc: Neil Brown , Christoph Hellwig , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org To: Linus Torvalds Return-path: In-Reply-To: <20150511180650.GA4147@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-fsdevel.vger.kernel.org From: Al Viro very simple - just make path_put() conditional on !RCU. Note that right now it doesn't get called in RCU mode - we leave it before getting anything into stack.
