From 2a737871108de9ba8930f7650d549f1383767f8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 11:49:53 -0400 Subject: Cache root in nameidata New field: nd->root. When pathname resolution wants to know the root, check if nd->root.mnt is non-NULL; use nd->root if it is, otherwise copy current->fs->root there. After path_walk() is finished, we check if we'd got a cached value in nd->root and drop it. Before calling path_walk() we should either set nd->root.mnt to NULL *or* copy (and pin down) some path to nd->root. In the latter case we won't be looking at current->fs->root at all.
