I can take that, but I'm really not convinced that we need writer lock there at all. After all, if we really can get livelocks on that one, we would be getting them on d_lookup()... Let's not complicate the things without need; if we ever run into loads where livelock start to happen, we can look into dealing with them. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
