encouraged :)
and yes the dentry->d_inode is set to NULL in path 
vfs_unlink()->d_delete()->dentry_iput(). I didn't test it out since I 
wasn't running on the patched code on the other node, sorry for that.
I'm going to send the v2 version of the patch soon.
if you are going to commit the patch, please help(and feel free) to 
correct mistakes, it there are, in my patch log --my English is not good.

wengang.
