OK, I didn't even know we had a bug in there...

btw, can you explain to me why shrink_dcache_anon() and select_parent() are
putting dentries at the wrong end of dentry_unused?

Do these dentries have DCACHE_REFERENCED set?

Why shouldn't they get a full two rounds of aging?

It is not clear what's going on in there.  Thanks.
