Not likely - in that setup all calls of ->unlink() and ->rename() are completely serialized by ->i_sem on parent. One question: is it dcache or icache that ends up leaking? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
