Well, it boots, and the dentry cache shrinks under memory pressure. So it's not _totally_ untested now. But I don't really see why it would fix Miklos' case. I think select_parent() may still end up touching the d_lru list of something that is on the 'dispose' list. So the patch looks like a nice cleanup, but it seems to be independent of the issue Miklos found. What am I missing now?
