Subject: [PATCH 6/6] Unionfs: cache coherency after lower objects are removed
Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 17:24:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11902370831020-git-send-email-ezk@cs.sunysb.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1190237080683-git-send-email-ezk@cs.sunysb.edu>

Prevent an oops if a lower file is deleted and then it is stat'ed from the
upper layer.  Ensure that we return a negative dentry so the user will get
an ENOENT.  Properly dput/mntput so we don't leak references at the lower
file system.
