From b306419ae08d9def53f2142a37cc0a58622307a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2011 21:16:28 -0500 Subject: nd->inode is not set on the second attempt in path_walk() We leave it at whatever it had been pointing to after the first link_path_walk() had failed with -ESTALE. Things do not work well after that...
