From 8eff733a45c98f17f254a313859f3b3ed9fc12dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 3 May 2015 21:27:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] link_path_walk: end of nd->depth massage get rid of orig_depth - we only use it on error exit to tell whether to stop doing put_link() when depth reaches 0 (call from path_init()) or when it reaches 1 (call from trailing_symlink()). However, in the latter case the caller would immediately follow with one more put_link(). Just keep doing it until the depth reaches zero (and simplify trailing_symlink() as the result).
