From b7ab39f631f505edc2bbdb86620d5493f995c9da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:49:32 +1100 Subject: fs: dcache scale dentry refcount Make d_count non-atomic and protect it with d_lock. This allows us to ensure a 0 refcount dentry remains 0 without dcache_lock. It is also fairly natural when we start protecting many other dentry members with d_lock.
