Sloppy writing: insert "with the exception of filesystems that are not going to be suitable for any form of stacking" - there _is_ a bunch of debugfs, configfs, kernfs places using that. They'd also better be taken care of, but it's an independent story; for overlayfs/unionmount/etc. purposes they are non-issue. BTW, there are several places where ->f_path.mnt access is the right thing to do - in autofs. Also a non-issue here... -- 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/
