Synopsis: namei cache unreliable for __getcwd() Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->dwmalone Responsible-Changed-By: dwmalone Responsible-Changed-When: Sat Jul 13 12:42:27 PDT 2002 Responsible-Changed-Why: I'm interested in these interactions with the name cache. I think that the current purging of the name cache associated with the moving/removal of a directory is probably unnecessary and the real thing to do here may be to check the permessions in the kernel code which does real path. I don't think it is possible for the name cache to return out of date info though, it may just return info which you might not be able to determine purely from userland.
