Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 21:29:07 +0200 From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...hat.com> To: linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk> Subject: [PATCH 05/17] bad_inode: use generic_readlink 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.
