From 1c13a243a461dd5b089d29e5d57f260c990e462c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: OGAWA Hirofumi Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 12:53:52 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fat: Kill d_invalidate() in vfat_lookup() d_invalidate() for positive dentry doesn't work in some cases (vfsmount, nfsd, and maybe others). shrink_dcache_parent() by d_invalidate() is pointless for vfat usage at all. So, this kills it, and intead of it uses d_move(). To save old behavior, this returns alias simply for directory (don't change pwd, etc..). the directory lookup shouldn't be important for performance.
