[PATCH 44/79] link_path_walk: kill the recursion

From: Al Viro
Date: Tue May 05 2015 - 01:41:14 EST


From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

absolutely straightforward now - the only variables we need to preserve
across the recursive call are name, link and cookie, and recursion depth
is limited (and can is equal to nd->depth). So arrange an array of
triples to hold instances of those and be done with that.
