In case of trylock failure don't re-add to the list - drop the locks and carefully get them in the right order. For shrink_dentry_list(), somebody having grabbed a reference to dentry means that we can kick it off-list, so if we find dentry being modified under us we don't need to play silly buggers with retries anyway - off the list it is. The locking logics taken out into a helper of its own; lock_parent() is no longer used for dentries that can be killed under us.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
