OK... I've just pushed another branch (#for-linus-2) with lock_parent() change folded into the commit that used to introduce rename_lock-based variant. Heads of the branches are byte-for-byte identical: al@duke:~/linux/trees/vfs$ git log vfs/for-linus|head -1 commit ebc6cb92bfeddf25462842f64604bc9fd2aab5b0 al@duke:~/linux/trees/vfs$ git log vfs/for-linus-2|head -1 commit 8cbf74da435d1bd13dbb790f94c7ff67b2fb6af4 al@duke:~/linux/trees/vfs$ git diff ebc6cb92bfeddf25462842f64604bc9fd2aab5b0 8cbf74da435d1bd13dbb790f94c7ff67b2fb6af4 al@duke:~/linux/trees/vfs$ so testing done on one of them obviously applies to another. FWIW, on #for-linus-2 we have Shortlog: Al Viro (6): lift the "already marked killed" case into shrink_dentry_list() split dentry_kill() expand dentry_kill(dentry, 0) in shrink_dentry_list() shrink_dentry_list(): take parent's ->d_lock earlier dealing with the rest of shrink_dentry_list() livelock dentry_kill() doesn't need the second argument now Diffstat: fs/dcache.c | 153 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------ 1 file changed, 107 insertions(+), 46 deletions(-) Linus, how would you prefer it to be handled? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
