[RFC/PATCH 1/2] stackfs: generic functions for obtaining hidden object

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Pekka Enberg <[email protected]>

Add generic functions for obtaining the hidden object (superblock, inode,
dentry, and dentry mount-point) in a stacked filesystem.  As fan-out 
stacked filesystems have multiple hidden objects, we store them in a 
statically allocated array of pointers.  The current hard-coded limit 
STACKFS_MAX_BRANCHES is not enough for unionfs (for which users have more 
than 100 branches).  That, however, can be fixed later for unionfs.
