    [PATCH] kNFSd 12: Change exp_parent to talk directory tree, not hash table. · 37dbeea3
    Neil Brown authored
    Currently get_parent (needed to find the exportpoint
    above a given dentry) walks the hash table of export points
    checking each with is_subdir.  Now it walks up the d_parent
    link checking each for membership in the hashtable.
    
    nfsd_lookup currently does that walk too (when crossing
    a mountpoint backwards) so the code gets unified.
    
    This approach makes more sense as we move towards a cache
    for export information that can be filled on demand.
    It also assumes less about the hash table (which will change).
