In a typical for /proc "open+read+close" usecase, dentry is looked up successfully on open only to be killed in dput() on close. In fact dentries which aren't /proc/*/... and /proc/sys/* were almost NEVER CACHED. Simple printk in proc_lookup_de() shows that. Now that ->delete hook intelligently picks which dentries should live in dcache and which should not, rbtree caching is not necessary as dcache does it job, at last! As a side effect, struct proc_dir_entry shrinks by one pointer which can go into inline name.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
