It would be helpful to add a few more details in this commit message. Somewhat along the lines of: ->d_hash() for casefolding currently allocates memory, it needs to use GFP_ATOMIC due to ->d_hash() being called in rcu-walk mode, this is unreliable and inefficient, and this patch allows solving that problem by removing the need to allocate memory. - Eric
