    Merge branch 'dentry-cleanups' (dcache access cleanups and optimizations) · 31ed8e6f
    Linus Torvalds authored
    This branch simplifies and clarifies the dcache lookup, and allows us to
    do certain nice optimizations when comparing dentries.  It also cleans
    up the interface to __d_lookup_rcu(), especially around passing the
    inode information around.
    
    * dentry-cleanups:
      vfs: make it possible to access the dentry hash/len as one 64-bit entry
      vfs: move dentry name length comparison from dentry_cmp() into callers
      vfs: do the careful dentry name access for all dentry_cmp cases
      vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu
      vfs: clean up __d_lookup_rcu() and dentry_cmp() interfaces
