This is madness.
void d_prune_aliases(struct inode *inode)
spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
if (likely(!dentry->d_lockref.count)) {
__dentry_kill(dentry);
goto restart;
...
static void __dentry_kill(struct dentry *dentry)
if (dentry->d_inode)
dentry_unlink_inode(dentry);
...
static void dentry_unlink_inode(struct dentry * dentry)
spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
Did you even test this patch?
