Pathname lookup
===============
Pathname lookup in Linux is a complex beast; the document linked below
provides a comprehensive summary for those looking for the details.
This write-up is based on three articles published at lwn.net:
- <https://lwn.net/Articles/649115/> Pathname lookup in Linux
- <https://lwn.net/Articles/649729/> RCU-walk: faster pathname lookup in Linux
- <https://lwn.net/Articles/650786/> A walk among the symlinks
Written by Neil Brown with help from Al Viro and Jon Corbet.
It has subsequently been updated to reflect changes in the kernel
including:
- per-directory parallel name lookup.
