From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: ebiederm@xmission.com (Eric W. Biederman) Subject: [PATCH 7/7] proc: Cleanup proc_flush_task. Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2008 02:58:20 -0800 Message-ID: References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Return-path: In-Reply-To: (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Thu, 06 Nov 2008 02:57:04 -0800") Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Andrew Morton Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Alexey Dobriyan , Al Viro , Linux Containers List-Id: containers.vger.kernel.org - shrink_dcache_parent is guarnateed to only flush dcache entries from the specified superblock. So the the insanely subtle PF_EXITING check desgined to avoid flushing filesystems inodes that are not safe to call during exit is unecessary. - The test to avoid excess flushing of dcache entries in proc got inverted and generally broken for threads, and frankly all it saved was a single d_hash_and_lookup so there was very little point to it. So remove the check and keep the code stupid and correct. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
