X-Git-Tag: v3.0~5986^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ac278a9c505092dd82077a2446af8f9fc0d9c095;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-amlogic.git

fix LOOKUP_FOLLOW on automount "symlinks"

Make sure that automount "symlinks" are followed regardless of LOOKUP_FOLLOW;
it should have no effect on them.
