This pattern of "try RCU-walk, if that fails try REF-walk" can be clearly seen in functions like ``filename_lookup()``, -``filename_parentat()``, ``filename_mountpoint()``, -``do_filp_open()``, and ``do_file_open_root()``.

These four +correspond roughly to the three ``path_*()`` functions we met earlier, each of which calls ``link_path_walk()``. The ``path_*()`` functions are called using different mode flags until a mode is found which works. They are first called with ``LOOKUP_RCU`` set to request "RCU-walk". If
