[PATCH 3.14 025/130] lift the "already marked killed" case into shrink_dentry_list()

Show all headers | View raw

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

commit 64fd72e0a44bdd62c5ca277cb24d0d02b2d8e9dc upstream.

It can happen only when dentry_kill() is called with unlock_on_failure
equal to 0 - other callers had dentry pinned until the moment they've
got ->d_lock and DCACHE_DENTRY_KILLED is set only after lockref_mark_dead().

IOW, only one of three call sites of dentry_kill() might end up reaching
that code.  Just move it there.
