From 89e6054836a7b1e7500cd70a14b5579e752c9250 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:49:45 +1100 Subject: fs: dcache reduce prune_one_dentry locking prune_one_dentry can avoid quite a bit of locking in the common case where ancestors have an elevated refcount. Alternatively, we could have gone the other way and made fewer trylocks in the case where d_count goes to zero, but is probably less common.
