Duh. One of these days I will switch my brain on ahead of time. > Now, this starts to look as if using file_name_lookup_under was not the best > choice. Can't we use dir_lookup directly? Yes, we should. It is hairy, we have to duplicate much of the contents of hurdlookup.c and lookup-retry.c, that's why file_name_lookup_under was the easy choice. This is difficult to do properly. In fact, it's impossible with the netfs_attempt_lookup interface. We have to implement netfs_S_dir_lookup ourselves, so that it can return partial results using FS_RETRY_MAGICAL to the user. It can be a bit simpler than the original function since we don't need the passive translator stuff, and it would be fine to deoptimize relative symlinks (i.e. symlinks always return to the user). You also don't need to do all the iouser diddling or reauth stuff, since fakeroot trusts all user ports the same anyhow. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
