Subject: get rid of trylock loop around dentry_kill()
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f657a666fd1b1b9fe59963943c74c245ae66f4cc;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

get rid of trylock loop around dentry_kill()

In case when trylock in there fails, deal with it directly in
dentry_kill().  Note that in cases when we drop and retake
->d_lock, we need to recheck whether to retain the dentry.
Another thing is that dropping/retaking ->d_lock might have
ended up with negative dentry turning into positive; that,
of course, can happen only once...
