    VFS: allow ->d_manage() to declare -EISDIR in rcu_walk mode. · b8faf035
    NeilBrown authored
    In REF-walk mode, ->d_manage can return -EISDIR to indicate
    that the dentry is not really a mount trap (or even a mount point)
    and that any mounts or any DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT flag should be
    ignored.
    
    RCU-walk mode doesn't currently support this, so if there is a dentry
    with DCACHE_NEED_AUTOMOUNT set but which shouldn't be a mount-trap,
    lookup_fast() will always drop in REF-walk mode.
    
    With this patch, an -EISDIR from ->d_manage will always cause mounts
    and automounts to be ignored, both in REF-walk and RCU-walk.
