Frage

I am reading "Understanding the Linux Kernel" 3rd edition, by D.Bovet & M.Cesati. In the chapter about Virtual file systems, they refer to the function "path_lookup()" that does the lookup for a given path. The book is based on linux-2.6. I am viewing files in linux-3.7.6 and I can't find the function (using cscope tool). Any idea what's the equivalent function in this version of linux?

War es hilfreich?

Lösung

On current kernel versions you can achieve the same using vfs_path_lookup() (http://lxr.linux.no/linux+*/fs/namei.c#L2051).
