From: Vegard Nossum Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 05:46:53 +0000 (-0700) Subject: proc: calculate the correct /proc/ link count X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc6~42 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aed5417593ad125283f35513573282139a8664b5;p=linux-2.6 proc: calculate the correct /proc/ link count This patch: commit e9720acd728a46cb40daa52c99a979f7c4ff195c Author: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Fri Mar 7 11:08:40 2008 -0800 [NET]: Make /proc/net a symlink on /proc/self/net (v3) introduced a /proc/self/net directory without bumping the corresponding link count for /proc/self. This patch replaces the static link count initializations with a call that counts the number of directory entries in the given pid_entry table whenever it is instantiated, and thus relieves the burden of manually keeping the two in sync.
