Frankly, a wrapper for path_lookup() that would take struct path *, refuse to do LOOKUP_PARENT (i.e. guaranteed to have nothing stored in nameidata other than ->mnt and ->dentry) and copied result of lookup into passed struct path * would help a lot more. Taking it to fs/namei.c would prevent inlining just fine and we'd be left with pair of pointers in caller's stack frame instead of full struct nameidata. All users in fs/namespace.c can be trivially converted to that and AFAICS it would save a lot more than we would get from making everything in there not inlined. I'll do that in fs/namei.c sanitizing series (opens as soon as ro-bind stuff goes in). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
