ocfs2: prune the dcache before deleting the dentry of directory
In ocfs2_dentry_convert_worker, we should prune the dcache before deleting the dentry of directory, otherwise, in the following cases the inode of directory will still remain in orphan directory until the device being umounted. Mount point: /mnt/ocfs2 Node A Node B mkdir /mnt/ocfs2/testdir ocfs2_mkdir ->ocfs2_mknod ->ocfs2_dentry_attach_lock ->ocfs2_dentry_lock(dentry, 0) ... ... touch /mnt/ocfs2/testdir/testfile unlink /mnt/test/testdir/testfile rmdir /mnt/ocfs2/testdir ocfs2_unlink ->ocfs2_remote_dentry_delete ->ocfs2_dentry_lock(dentry, 1) ... ... ... ... ocfs2_downconvert_thread ->ocfs2_unblock_lock ->ocfs2_dentry_convert_worker ->ocfs2_find_local_alias ->dget_dlock ->d_delete Here the dentry can not be released because the children's dentry is negative but still exist. Finally, this inode will still remain in orphan directory until its children are destroyed. So before deleting dentry of directory, we should prune the dcache to remove unused children of the parent dentry by shrink_dcache_parent().
