From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> The following are fixes mainly to d_splice_alias and related code. I think they'd be appropriate for 3.16, though some of them could probably use another pair of eyes. For future work: - d_splice_alias and d_materialise_unique are now doing nearly the same thing and should probably be combined. - __d_unalias's dependence on trylock's can cause spurious lookup failures on NFS. I've been meaning to look into whether it's reasonable (and good enough) to just retry in those cases. --b. J.
