From 3c9fe8cdff1b889a059a30d22f130372f2b3885f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Wed, 11 May 2016 01:16:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] vfs: add lookup_hash() helper Overlayfs needs lookup without inode_permission() and already has the name hash (in form of dentry->d_name on overlayfs dentry). It also doesn't support filesystems with d_op->d_hash() so basically it only needs the actual hashed lookup from lookup_one_len_unlocked() So add a new helper that does unlocked lookup of a hashed name.
