From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com> This patch changes the way DCACHE_REFERENCED flag is used. It got messed up in dcache_rcu iterations. I hope this will be ok now. The flag was meant to be advisory flag which is used while prune_dcache() so as not to free dentries which have recently entered d_lru list. At first pass in prune_dcache the dentries marked DCACHE_REFERENCED are left with the flag reset. and they are freed in the next pass. So, now we mark the dentry as DCACHE_REFERENCED when it is first entering the d_lru list in dput() and resetthe flag in prune_dcache(). If the flag remains reset in the next call to prune_dcache(), the dentry is then freed. Also I don't think any file system have to use this flag as it is taken care by the dcache layer. The patch removes such code from a few of file systems. Moreover these filesystems were anyway doing worng thing as they were changing the flag out of dcache_lock. Changes: o dput() marks dentry DCACHE_REFERENCED when it is added to the dentry_unused list o no need to set the flag in dget, dget_locked, d_lookup as these guys anyway increments the ref count. o check the ref count in prune_dcache and use DCACHE_REFERENCED flag just for two stage aging. o remove code for setting DACACHE_REFERENCED from reiserfs, fat, xfs and exportfs.
