Do that before new dentry is visible anywhere. It does create a new possible state for dentries present in ->d_children/->d_sib - DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP present, negative, unhashed, not in in-lookup hash chains, refcount positive. Those are going to be skipped by all tree-walkers (both d_walk() callbacks in fs/dcache.c and explicit loops over children/sibling lists elsewhere) and dput() is fine with those. NOTE: dropping the final reference to a "normal" in-lookup dentry (in in-lookup hash) is a bug - somebody must've forgotten to call d_lookup_done() on it and bad things will happen. With those it's OK; if/when we get around to making __dentry_kill() complain about such breakage, remember that predicate to check should *not* be just d_in_lookup(victim) but rather a combination of that with !hlist_bl_unhashed(&victim->d_u.d_in_lookup_hash). Might be worth considering later... Reviewed-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
