At least one thing we >definitively are "better" than the Linux kernel ;-) Anselm, There's an obscure bug in your code waiting to bite someday. You declare "recursion" as a static int set to 0. Problem is if Etherboot restarts, this will not get reset to 0 and sometime later, when NFS access through symlinks is retried, the limit will be exceeded, even though it's a fresh attempt to load the file. |
