Ah-ha, it looks like it's _not_:
if (!(bh = qnx4_find_entry(len, dir, name, &de, &ino)))
goto out;
/* The entry is linked, let's get the real info */
if ((de->di_status & QNX4_FILE_LINK) == QNX4_FILE_LINK) {
lnk = (struct qnx4_link_info *) de;
It seems that entries may be either struct qnx4_inode_entry or struct
qnx4_link_info but it's not captured in a union.
This needs to be fixed by not lying to the compiler about what is there.
How about this?
