Subject: Unionfs: find lower inode of unlinked opened files in setattr
X-Git-Url: https://git.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7afaa961e136574890bc6861997f0cbe74aa3038;p=unionfs-2.6.19.y.git

Unionfs: find lower inode of unlinked opened files in setattr

To find the inode of a lower file that's open but unlinked, we cannot find
it via unionfs_lower_inode as that's NULL; but we can get it properly from
lower_dentry->d_inode.
