Subject: Re: [PATCH V2 1/3] dcache: add a new enum type for
'dentry_d_lock_class'

No. These need meaningful names. Indeed, I think D_LOCK_NESTED is
a terrible name.
Looking at the calls:
$ git grep -n nested.*d_lock fs
fs/autofs/expire.c:82: spin_lock_nested(&child->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/dcache.c:619: spin_lock_nested(&dentry->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/dcache.c:1086: spin_lock_nested(&dentry->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/dcache.c:1303: spin_lock_nested(&dentry->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/dcache.c:2822: spin_lock_nested(&old_parent->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/dcache.c:2827: spin_lock_nested(&target->d_parent->d_lock,
fs/dcache.c:2830: spin_lock_nested(&dentry->d_lock, 2);
fs/dcache.c:2831: spin_lock_nested(&target->d_lock, 3);
fs/dcache.c:3121: spin_lock_nested(&dentry->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/libfs.c:112: spin_lock_nested(&d->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/libfs.c:341: spin_lock_nested(&child->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
fs/notify/fsnotify.c:129: spin_lock_nested(&child->d_lock, DENTRY_D_LOCK_NESTED);
Most of these would be well-expressed by DENTRY_D_LOCK_CHILD.
The exception is __d_move() where I think we should actually name the
different lock classes instead of using a bare '2' and '3'. Something
like this, perhaps:
