I see... Several points:
* I still think that it's better to do handling of "we see
DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED already set" in dentry_kill() itself.
* in dentry_kill(dentry, 0) we *know* that it's not on a shrink
list - the caller has just removed it from there and we'd kept ->d_lock
since that point. What's more, with that scheme we don't need to bother
with can_free at all - just grab ->d_lock after ->d_release() call and check
DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST. No sense trying to avoid that - in case where we
could just go ahead and free the sucker, there's neither contention nor
anybody else interested in that cacheline, so spin_lock(&dentry->d_lock)
is pretty much free.
IOW, I'd prefer to do the following (completely untested) on top of 1/6--4/6:
