Revision e1b4b9f3986b80d5785d91dbd8d72cfaf9fd1117 authored by Al Viro on 12 December 2006, 08:29:52 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 14 December 2006, 00:48:23 UTC
If we come to node we'd already marked as seen and it's not a part of path
(i.e. we don't have a loop right there), we already know that it isn't a
part of any loop, so we don't need to revisit it.

That speeds the things up if some chain is refered to from several places
and kills O(exp(table size)) worst-case behaviour (without sleeping,
at that, so if you manage to self-LART that way, you are SOL for a long
time)...
