From 2a1ef032cfccd8c92f32b86615a0b0151a7cd86f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2016 18:29:11 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix rm_rf() to handle non-regular files correctly Fix rm_rf() to handle non-regular files correctly. This fix includes two changes; - Fix to use lstat(3) instead of stat(3) since if the target file is a symbolic link, rm_rf() should unlink the symbolic link itself, not the file which pointed by the symlink. - Fix to unlink non-regular files (except for directory), including symlink. Even though the first one fixes to stat symlink itself, without second fix, it still failed because the symlink is not a regular file.
