From a7472baba22dd5d68580f528374f93421b33667e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2011 14:39:30 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] make nameidata_dentry_drop_rcu_maybe() always leave RCU mode Now we have do_follow_link() guaranteed to leave without dangling RCU and the next step will get LOOKUP_RCU logics completely out of link_path_walk().
