From 3bcf3860a4ff9bbc522820b4b765e65e4deceb3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Paris Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:18:37 -0400 Subject: fsnotify: store struct file not struct path Al explains that calling dentry_open() with a mnt/dentry pair is only garunteed to be safe if they are already used in an open struct file. To make sure this is the case don't store and use a struct path in fsnotify, always use a struct file.
