From 8c01a529b861ba97c7d78368e6a5d4d42e946f75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 10 May 2012 11:06:18 -0700 Subject: vfs: remove unnecessary d_unhashed() check from __d_lookup_rcu The check for d_unhashed() is not strictly incorrect, but at the same time it is also not sensible. The actual dentry removal from the dentry hash chains is totally asynchronous to the __d_lookup_rcu() logic, and we depend on __d_drop() updating the sequence number to invalidate any lookup of an unhashed dentry. So checking d_unhashed() is not incorrect, but it's not useful either: the code has to work correctly even without it. So just remove it.
