Subject: "fs proxy" module - how to turn path into dev+inode
Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 00:51:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040928235147.GE6287@lkcl.net> (raw)
hi,
for various reasons i am going to have to start on an fsproxy module.
if i use d_path() to get the full pathname of an inode in the fsproxy
filesystem, and then i prepend that path with the proxy prefix which
specifies the _real_ location:
how do i then turn that full pathname _back_ into a vfsmount and a
dentry?
how about.... user_path_walk() used in fs/open.c? is that it?
*glurk*. 7 types of chaos...

around you, funnily and coincidentally enough, life gets a lot better.
