    boundary is expensive and if it is within a NFS FS. then the
    call will hang if server is not up.

Problem summary

  • getwd() has functional and performance issue with the lstat64()
    call. The lstat64() calls that it makes while going across FS
    boundary is expensive and if it is within a NFS FS. then the
    call will hang if server is not up.
    

Problem conclusion

  • instead of making lstat64() call, it will make a kernel call
    to get the lowest mounted over vnode's inode number and then
    match it against parent's dirent
    

Temporary fix
