Try this: /* * We don't want to put this dentry in the global dentry * hash table, so we pretend the dentry is already hashed * by unsetting DCACHE_UNHASHED. This permits * /proc/$pid/fd/XXX t work for sockets, pipes and * anonymous files (signalfd, timerfd, etc). */ > + res->d_flags &= ~DCACHE_UNHASHED; > + res->d_flags |= DCACHE_DISCONNECTED; Is this really better than: res->d_flags = res->d_flags & ~DCACHE_UNHASHED | DCACHE_DISCONNECTED; Anyway, nice cleanup. -- Matthew Wilcox Intel Open Source Technology Centre "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
