[PATCH V11 10/11] fs: Introduce DCACHE_DONTCACHE

From: ira . weiny
Date: Mon Apr 27 2020 - 20:21:59 EST


From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

DCACHE_DONTCACHE indicates a dentry should not be cached on final
dput().

Also add a helper function to mark DCACHE_DONTCACHE on all dentries
pointing to a specific inode when that inode is being set I_DONTCACHE.

This facilitates dropping dentry references to inodes sooner which
require eviction to swap S_DAX mode.
