linux-toradex.git/fs/hpfs/dentry.c, branch v4.5 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules Don't pass inode to ->d_hash() and ->d_compare() 2013-06-29T08:57:36+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2013-05-21T22:22:44+00:00 da53be12bbb4fabbe2e9f6f908de0cf478b5161d Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry->d_sb). A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode - the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply treated as cache miss.

fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup path 2011-01-07T06:50:28+00:00 Nick Piggin npiggin@kernel.dk 2011-01-07T06:49:55+00:00 fb045adb99d9b7c562dc7fef834857f78249daa1 Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them. This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we have d_op but not the particular operation. Patched with: git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

This does put significant restrictions on what may be done from the callback, however there don't seem to have been any problems with in-tree fses. If some strange use case pops up that _really_ cannot cope with the rcu-walk rules, we can just add new rcu-unaware callbacks, which would cause name lookup to drop out of rcu-walk mode.
