From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> When a filesystem encryption key is removed, we need all files which had been "unlocked" (had ->i_crypt_info set up) with it to appear "locked" again. This is most easily done by evicting the inodes. This can currently be done using 'echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches'; however, that is overkill and not usable by non-root users. To evict just the needed inodes we also need the ability to evict those inodes' dentries, since an inode is pinned by its dentries. Therefore, add a function shrink_dcache_inode() which iterates through an inode's dentries and evicts any unused ones as well as any unused descendants (since there may be negative dentries pinning the inode's dentries).
