From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit a3f432bfd06a4ec3b812e32d3266e0d1ad75d008 upstream. This check was added by Al Viro with d9e80b7de91db05c1c4d2e5ebbfd70b3b3ba0e0f "nfs d_revalidate() is too trigger-happy with d_drop()", with the explanation that we don't want to remove the root of a disconnected tree, which will still be included on the s_anon list. But DCACHE_DISCONNECTED does *not* actually identify dentries that are disconnected from the dentry tree or hashed on s_anon. IS_ROOT() is the way to do that. Also add a comment from Al's commit to remind us why this check is there. Signed-off-by: J.
