Prev: [PATCH 00/38] VFS union mounts - Add MS_FALLTHRU
Next: [PATCH 10/38] whiteout: Split of ext2_append_link() from ext2_add_link()
From: Valerie Aurora on 6 Aug 2010 18:50 Define the fallthru dcache flag and file system op. Mask out the DCACHE_FALLTHRU flag on dentry creation. Actual users and changes to lookup come in later patches.
