Subject: [PATCH 05/17] bad_inode: use generic_readlink
Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 21:29:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1473708559-12714-6-git-send-email-mszeredi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1473708559-12714-1-git-send-email-mszeredi@redhat.com>

This will allow us to move the generic readlink logic into the VFS and get
rid of the readlink method.

If inode has i_link set then this patch changes behavior, because
generic_readlink will return the cached contents instead of calling
i_op->get_link.  It would be hard to imagine that this change could break
userspace in any sane setup, though.
