From 6920a4405e6ff7813de4d5a9eb5e0b475e41a06b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 10 May 2015 10:43:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] namei: simplify failure exits in get_link() when cookie is NULL, put_link() is equivalent to path_put(), so as soon as we'd set last->cookie to NULL, we can bump nd->depth and let the normal logics in terminate_walk() to take care of cleanups.
