Quote from original commit: "As we only have try_to_ascend() and not d_walk(), apply this change to all callers of try_to_ascend()" Shouldn't this "d_walk() might skip too much" fix to 3.10.y branch be applied to all three places too? -- Jari Ruusu 4096R/8132F189 12D6 4C3A DCDA 0AA4 27BD ACDF F073 3C80 8132 F189 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
