Umm... You mean, if final dput() finds dentry already on shrink list, just leave it there and return? Might get really painful - the code that knows it's holding the last reference to already unhashed dentry might get a nasty surprise when dput() returns before it's killed off. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
