Subject: [PATCH 14/53] nfs: use d_alloc_noblock() in silly-rename
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 08:12:01 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312214330.3885211-15-neilb@ownmail.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312214330.3885211-1-neilb@ownmail.net>

From: NeilBrown <neil@brown.name>

Rather than performing a normal lookup (which will be awkward with
future locking changes) use d_alloc_noblock() to find a dentry for an
unused name, and then open-code the rest of lookup_slow() to see if it
is free on the server.
