Pointless - path.dentry == dentry->d_parent anyway.

Ditto.

Ditto, with s/path/parent/

And here as well.

... and again, that's completely pointless.

Oh, _lovely_. So not only do we pass dentry, the arguments are redundant
as well.

I'm fairly sure that it's also pointless, because parent is going to be, well,
the parent. Of child.

Er... You do realize that callers of gfs2_permission() tend to have
the dentry in question, either directly or as ->d_parent of something
they have?
I really hate the whole thing... ;-/
