[PATCH 06/16] Unionfs: handle whiteouts more efficiently in filldir

From: Erez Zadok
Date: Mon Nov 26 2007 - 11:49:47 EST


If we cache a dirent for file "foo", and then it gets deleted, then we look
for a ".wh.foo" whiteout entry in the same dirent cache. But our dirent
cache strips the ".wh." prefix, thus looking for an entry named "foo" whose
filldir_node->whiteout should be 1 instead of 0. In that case, don't
display an incorrect printk message that the file system may be corrupt,
but set that filldir_node->whiteout to 1.
