Hi Al,

remember that debug session we did at KS? You suggested this patch back
then....

Subject: [PATCH] fs: add a sanity check in d_free

we're seeing some corruption in the dentry->d_alias list that
appears like a free of an entry still on the list; this patch
adds a WARN_ON() to catch this scenario, as suggested by Al Viro

[PATCH vfs-2.6 4/6] vfs: remove unnecessary fsnotify_d_instantiate()

2008-10-23T09:13:18+00:00

This calls d_move(), so fsnotify_d_instantiate() is unnecessary like
rename path.

[PATCH vfs-2.6 3/6] vfs: add __d_instantiate() helper

2008-10-23T09:13:17+00:00

This adds __d_instantiate() for users which is already taking
dcache_lock, and replace with it.

The part of d_add_ci() isn't equivalent. But it should be needed
fsnotify_d_instantiate() actually, because the path is to add the
inode to negative dentry.  fsnotify_d_instantiate() should be called
after change from negative to positive.

[PATCH vfs-2.6 2/6] vfs: add d_ancestor()

2008-10-23T09:13:16+00:00

This adds d_ancestor() instead of d_isparent(), then use it.

If new_dentry == old_dentry, is_subdir() returns 1, looks strange.
"new_dentry == old_dentry" is not subdir obviously. But I'm not
checking callers for now, so this keeps current behavior.
