Subject: dcache: Handle escaped paths in prepend_path
|
|
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/cde93be45a8a90d8c264c776fab63487b5038a65

A rename can result in a dentry that by walking up d_parent
|
|
will never reach it's mnt_root. For lack of a better term
|
|
I call this an escaped path.
|
|
|
|
prepend_path is called by four different functions __d_path,
|
|
d_absolute_path, d_path, and getcwd.
|
|
|
|
__d_path only wants to see paths are connected to the root it passes
|
|
in. So __d_path needs prepend_path to return an error.
|
|
|
|
d_absolute_path similarly wants to see paths that are connected to
|
|
some root. Escaped paths are not connected to any mnt_root so
|
|
d_absolute_path needs prepend_path to return an error greater
|
|
than 1. So escaped paths will be treated like paths on lazily
|
|
unmounted mounts.
|
|
|
|
getcwd needs to prepend "(unreachable)" so getcwd also needs
|
|
prepend_path to return an error.
|
|
|
|
d_path is the interesting hold out. d_path just wants to print
|
|
something, and does not care about the weird cases. Which raises
|
|
the question what should be printed?
|
|
|
|
Given that <escaped_path>/<anything> should result in -ENOENT I
|
|
believe it is desirable for escaped paths to be printed as empty
|
|
paths. As there are not really any meaninful path components when
|
|
considered from the perspective of a mount tree.
|
|
|
|
So tweak prepend_path to return an empty path with an new error
|
|
code of 3 when it encounters an escaped path.
