From 071bf501379560a7631b8d75ac80165bf82735c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 3 May 2015 20:01:27 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] link_path_walk: nd->depth massage, part 1 nd->stack[0] is unused until the handling of trailing symlinks and we want to get rid of that. Having fucked that transformation up several times, I went for bloody pedantic series of provably equivalent transformations. Sorry. Step 1: keep nd->depth higher by one in link_path_walk() - increment upon entry, decrement on exits, adjust the arithmetics inside and surround the calls of functions that care about nd->depth value (nd_alloc_stack(), get_link(), put_link()) with decrement/increment pairs.
