It's normal to list the parameters in the order they're passed to the
function.  Not sure if we have a tool that checks for this or not --
Randy?

Yes, no problem, better to have the same order.

Line length ... as checkpatch would have warned you ;-)

And there are several other grammatical nitpicks with this comment.  Try
this:

		/*
		 * We don't want to put this dentry in the global dentry
		 * hash table, so we pretend the dentry is already hashed
* by unsetting DCACHE_UNHASHED. This permits * /proc/$pid/fd/XXX t work for sockets, pipes and
		 * anonymous files (signalfd, timerfd, etc).
		 */

Yes, this is better.


+		res->d_flags &= ~DCACHE_UNHASHED;
+		res->d_flags |= DCACHE_DISCONNECTED;

Is this really better than:

		res->d_flags = res->d_flags & ~DCACHE_UNHASHED |
						DCACHE_DISCONNECTED;

Well, I personally prefer the two lines, intention is more readable :)


Anyway, nice cleanup.


Thanks Matthew, here is an updated version of the patch.

[PATCH] fs: pipe/sockets/anon dentries should have themselves as parent


Linking pipe/sockets/anon dentries to one root 'parent' has no functional
impact at all, but a scalability one.

We can avoid touching a cache line at allocation stage (inside d_alloc(), no need
to touch root->d_count), but also at freeing time (in d_kill, decrementing d_count)
We avoid an expensive atomic_dec_and_lock() call on the root dentry.

We add d_alloc_unhashed(const char *name, struct inode *inode) helper
to be used by pipes/socket/anon. This function is about the same as
d_alloc_root() but for unhashed entries.

Before patch, time to run 8 *  1 million of close(socket()) calls on 8 CPUS was :

real    0m27.496s
user    0m0.657s
sys     3m39.092s

After patch :

real    0m23.843s
user    0m0.616s
sys     3m9.732s
