Hi,

Sorry to disturb you all.

In the d_alloc() function in the vfs layer of the filesystem(2.2.14
kernel) we can see the following:

        dentry->d_mounts = dentry;
        dentry->d_covers = dentry;
        
Why should both the above be assigned the values of dentry. Wher elase is
this used. Please help me with this information.

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
sathish.j
