instead of a single flag (!= 0 => we want to follow symlinks) pass two bits - WALK_GET (want to follow symlinks) and WALK_PUT (put_link() once we are done looking at the name). The latter matters only for success exits - on failure the caller will discard everything anyway. Suggestions for better variant are welcome; what this thing aims for is making sure that pending put_link() is done *before* walk_component() decides to pick a symlink up, rather than between picking it up and acting upon it. See the next commit for payoff. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
