How exactly you imagine we would do that? (without this problem > I guess we indeed may drop or rather not change proc-inode). Why would you need an extra reference? All these data structures are created dynamically on access and dentry is always available while any operation on the inode is in progress so it's guaranteed to be available and there's no reason to diddle with reference count. Anyways, we can deal with this optimization later, I think.
