They take a path relative to the rpc_pipefs root and thus need to perform a full lookup. If you look at debugfs or usbfs they always store the dentry for directories they created and thus can pass in a dentry + single pathname component pair into their equivalents of the above functions. And in fact rpc_pipefs actually stores a dentry for all but one component so this change not only simplifies the core rpc_pipe code but also the callers. Unfortuntately this code path is only used by the NFS4 idmapper and AUTH_GSSAPI for which I don't have a test enviroment. Could someone give it a spin? It's the last bit needed before we can rework the lookup_hash API Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust /ҝ
