Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/6] dcache: sweep cached negative dentries to the end of list of siblings
From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@...dex-team.ru>
For disk filesystems result of every negative lookup is cached, content of
directories is usually cached too. Production of negative dentries isn't
limited with disk speed. It's really easy to generate millions of them if
system has enough memory. Negative dentries are linked into siblings list
along with normal positive dentries. Some operations walks dcache tree but
looks only for positive dentries: most important is fsnotify/inotify.
This patch moves negative dentries to the end of list at final dput() and
marks with flag which tells that all following dentries are negative too.
Reverse operation is required before instantiating negative dentry.
