|
|||
1/ provide the filehandle fragment routines described below.
|
||||
2/ make sure that d_splice_alias is used rather than d_add
|
||||
when ->lookup finds an inode for a given parent and name.
|
||||
Typically the ->lookup routine will end with a:
|
||||
|
||||
If inode is NULL, d_splice_alias(inode, dentry) is eqivalent to
|
||||
|
||||
d_add(dentry, inode), NULL
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, d_splice_alias(ERR_PTR(err), dentry) = ERR_PTR(err)
|
||||
|
||||
Typically the ->lookup routine will simply end with a:
|
||||
|
||||
return d_splice_alias(inode, dentry);
