Whatever the hell for? Your ->lookup() rejects dentries with names longer
than PRAM_NAME_LEN with an error, so they won't reach this function at all.

Umm... That's called on rename (for old one) *and* inode eviction when link
count goes to zero. What's the point of keeping unlinked ones (unlink/rmdir/
rename victims) on those lists? Sure, you skip them on lookups, but why
delay link removal until eviction? You pay for that with extra locking,
BTW - if not for that, you wouldn't need your i_link_mutex at all.

Really? So on the first call of ->iterate() you just generate one
entry and don't even try to produce more? And it looks like the
rest is no nicer...
