From ab90911ff90cdab59b31c045c3f0ae480d14f29d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2011 18:46:51 +0000 Subject: Allow d_manage() to be used in RCU-walk mode Allow d_manage() to be called from pathwalk when it is in RCU-walk mode as well as when it is in Ref-walk mode. This permits __follow_mount_rcu() to call d_manage() directly. d_manage() needs a parameter to indicate that it is in RCU-walk mode as it isn't allowed to sleep if in that mode (but should return -ECHILD instead). autofs4_d_manage() can then be set to retain RCU-walk mode if the daemon accesses it and otherwise request dropping back to ref-walk mode.
