Subject: Get rid of symlink body copying
X-Git-Tag: v3.0~5861^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=def4af30cf945a3735ffca865788ea84b30b25d9;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-amlogic.git

Get rid of symlink body copying

Now that nd->last stays around until ->put_link() is called, we can
just postpone that ->put_link() in do_filp_open() a bit and don't
bother with copying.
