->d_revalidate() series, along with ->d_iname preliminary work. One trivial conflict in fs/afs/dir.c - afs_do_lookup_one() has lost one argument in mainline and switched another from dentry to qstr in this series. The following changes since commit 40384c840ea1944d7c5a392e8975ed088ecf0b37: Linux 6.13-rc1 (2024-12-01 14:28:56 -0800) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git tags/pull-revalidate for you to fetch changes up to a8ea90bfec66b239dad9a478fc444aa32d3961bc: 9p: fix ->rename_sem exclusion (2025-01-25 11:51:57 -0500) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Provide stable parent and name to ->d_revalidate() instances Most of the filesystem methods where we care about dentry name and parent have their stability guaranteed by the callers; ->d_revalidate() is the major exception. It's easy enough for callers to supply stable values for expected name and expected parent of the dentry being validated. That kills quite a bit of boilerplate in ->d_revalidate() instances, along with a bunch of races where they used to access ->d_name without sufficient precautions.
