5.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: linke li <lilinke99@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8bfb40be31ddea0cb4664b352e1797cfe6c91976 ] Currently, the __d_clear_type_and_inode() writes the value flags to dentry->d_flags, then immediately re-reads it in order to use it in a if statement. This re-read is useless because no other update to dentry->d_flags can occur at this point. This commit therefore re-use flags in the if statement instead of re-reading dentry->d_flags.
