The patch titled
fs: remove unneeded DCACHE_UNHASHED tricks
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
fs-remove-unneeded-dcache_unhashed-tricks.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: fs: remove unneeded DCACHE_UNHASHED tricks
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx>
Filesystems outside the regular namespace do not have to clear
DCACHE_UNHASHED in order to have a working /proc/$pid/fd/XXX. Nothing in
proc prevents the fd link from being used if its dentry is not in the
hash.
Also, it does not get put into the dcache hash if DCACHE_UNHASHED is
clear; that depends on the filesystem calling d_add or d_rehash.
So delete the misleading comments and needless code.
