Patch seems to work, might want more testing.
It probably should not be applied without a discussion, especially
as no filesystem in kernel tree wants this. I am working on a fs that does.
This is backwards I think. This is not disallowed because there are
no filesystems that want it. Linux doesn't want it so it is disallowed
by the vfs.
Right.
You have to put forward a case for why we want it, rather than show us
your filesystem that "wants" it. Right?
Nope.
What do you mean nope?
I know why unix didn't allow loops in the filesystem tree. I'm just
saying that you have to justify a feature before adding it. If he was
able to nicely solve problems with loops and show some application
that benefits from it, then it could be considered for Linux.
