Subject: [01/78] dcache.c: create helper function for duplicated functionality
2.6.38-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
commit c826cb7dfce80512c26c984350077a25046bd215 upstream.
This creates a helper function for he "try to ascend into the parent
directory" case, which was written out in triplicate before. With all
the locking and subtle sequence number stuff, we really don't want to
duplicate that kind of code.
