From f374ed5fa8afed8590deaae5dc147422e0e1a6d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2011 01:34:45 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] do_last: kill a rudiment of old ->d_revalidate() workaround There used to be time when ->d_revalidate() couldn't return an error. So intents code had lookup_instantiate_filp() stash ERR_PTR(error) in nd->intent.open.filp and had it checked after lookup_hash(), to catch the otherwise silent failures. That had been introduced by commit 4af4c52f34606bdaab6930a845550c6fb02078a4. These days ->d_revalidate() can and does propagate errors back to callers explicitly, so this check isn't needed anymore.
