| |
Hi Bill,
Coda is starting to use the dcache. During a lookup I need to know if I have credentials for an inode already, I need to use the d_compare operation.
The current prototype is:
int coda_d_compare(struct dentry *parent, struct qstr *de_name, struct qstr *name)
Can we make it:
int coda_d_compare(struct dentry *dentry, struct qstr *name)
We can still get at the parent (dentry->d_parent) and at the name (dentry->d_name) and I won't have to do ugly things like dentry = list_entry( de_name, struct dentry *, d_name )
Peter
