From a5cfe2d5e14d4c2dec06b22d18050c443c7537f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 12:10:45 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] do_last: regularize the logics around following symlinks With LOOKUP_FOLLOW we unlazy and return 1; without it we either fail with ELOOP or, for O_PATH opens, succeed. No need to mix those cases...
