I think your mistaken this time. That was done to work around the fact that -EISDIR can't be returned in the case where the dentry doesn't and (and won't have) a explicit mount on it without entering an ELOOP situation. IIRC I needed to return NULL here and handle it in ->d_manage() to make this work. > > -EISDIR is the return to indicate this is to be treated as a normal directory.
