How about this?: if (!d_unhashed(dentry)) { struct hlist_bl_head *b; + /* + * Hashed dentries are normally on the dentry hashtable, + * with the exception of those newly allocated by + * d_obtain_alias, which are always IS_ROOT: + */ if (unlikely(IS_ROOT(dentry))) b = &dentry->d_sb->s_anon; else > Also while reviewing this I noticed that one of the two callers of > __d_shrink already has the d_unhashed check - it might make sense to > move it to the other caller as well if you touch this area anyway. > (as a separate patch). Sure.
