You must also keep in mind that ->fsync() is not called with i_mutex held anymore, so if you require i_mutex locking you must make sure to take it and release it yourself. + +-- +[mandatory] + d_alloc_root() is gone, along with a lot of bugs caused by code +misusing it. Replacement: d_make_root(inode). The difference is, +d_make_root() drops the reference to inode if dentry allocation fails. diff --git a/fs/dcache.c b/fs/dcache.c index bcbdb33fcc2..a78e145a435 100644 --- a/fs/dcache.c +++ b/fs/dcache.c @@ -1443,30 +1443,6 @@ struct dentry *d_instantiate_unique(struct dentry *entry, struct inode *inode) EXPORT_SYMBOL(d_instantiate_unique); -/** - * d_alloc_root - allocate root dentry - * @root_inode: inode to allocate the root for - * - * Allocate a root ("/") dentry for the inode given.
