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.
