Whatever the hell for?  Your ->lookup() rejects dentries with names longer
than PRAM_NAME_LEN with an error, so they won't reach this function at all.


Ok. I'll remove it.

+int pram_remove_link(struct inode *inode)

Umm...  That's called on rename (for old one) *and* inode eviction when link
count goes to zero.  What's the point of keeping unlinked ones (unlink/rmdir/
rename victims) on those lists?  Sure, you skip them on lookups, but why
delay link removal until eviction?  You pay for that with extra locking,
BTW - if not for that, you wouldn't need your i_link_mutex at all.


Good question. The only answer I've got now is for "historical" reason, I can't see at the moment why we can remove the link information in case of opened-but-unlinked, instead of delay the operation until evict.

+       pi = pram_get_inode(sb, inode->i_ino);
+
+       switch ((u32)file->f_pos) {
+       case 0:
+               ret = dir_emit_dot(file, ctx);
+               ctx->pos = 1;
+               return ret;

Really?  So on the first call of ->iterate() you just generate one
entry and don't even try to produce more?  And it looks like the
rest is no nicer...


I'll try to improve the behavior here.
