[PATCH 08/13] VFS/namei: enhance follow_link to support RCU-walk.

From: NeilBrown
Date: Mon Mar 16 2015 - 00:45:13 EST


If LOOKUP_RCU is set, follow_link will not take/drop reference counts.

Replace cond_resched() with _cond_resched() as the latter
is a no-op if rcu_read_lock() is held while the former will
give a warning in that case.
