From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit fe91522a7ba82ca1a51b07e19954b3825e4aaa22 upstream. If we find something already on a shrink list, just increment data->found and do nothing else. Loops in shrink_dcache_parent() and check_submounts_and_drop() will do the right thing - everything we did put into our list will be evicted and if there had been nothing, but data->found got non-zero, well, we have somebody else shrinking those guys; just try again.
