Linux kernel source tree

* d_make_persistent(dentry, inode) - bump refcount, mark persistent and make hashed positive. Return value is a borrowed reference to dentry; it can be used until something removes persistency (at the very least, until the parent gets unlocked, but some filesystems may have stronger exclusion). * d_make_discardable() - remove persistency mark and drop reference. d_make_persistent() is similar to combination of d_instantiate(), dget() and setting flag. The only difference is that unlike d_instantiate() it accepts hashed and unhashed negatives alike. It is always called in strong locking environment (parent held exclusive, or, in some cases, dentry coming from d_alloc_name()); if we ever start using it with parent held only shared and dentry coming from d_alloc_parallel(), we'll need to copy the in-lookup logics from __d_add(). d_make_discardable() is eqiuvalent to combination of removing flag and dput(); since flag removal requires ->d_lock, there's no point trying to avoid taking that for refcount decrement as fast_dput() does. The slow path of dput() has been taken into a helper and reused in d_make_discardable() instead. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
