Hi Steve,
The shrink_dcache_sb() routine was in the dcache patch I posted, but if
you don't want to use it, references can just be replaced with
shrink_dcache(). (It's the same operation, but just limited to one
super block.) You may need to add a prototype for is_bad_inode() to
include/linux/fs.h as well.
Sorry about the inconvenient patches ... my source tree is getting
pretty hacked up.
Regards,
Bill
