This is the problem of determining all the dentries that exist for a
given inode. Since there are many different directory name combinations
that can end up in the same place, some might still exist.
Even for the simple case that I thought should have worked, it didn't.
LongFileName has an alias longfi~1. When LongFileName got deleted, I did
a d_lookup using the same parent of LongFileName with the name set to
the alias longfi~1. I never got a match on the dentry even if I had
looked it up with longfi~1 before.
Here is the routine I was using. fninfo holds the longname and the
shortname. dentry is the dentry that was passed to vfat_unlink()
or vfat_create(). I called this routine in both cases to try to
remove no longer valid dentries. I don't know why it wouldn't work
for the case I was trying, but it would fail for more complex cases
anyway (i.e. parent dentry of alias different than parent dentry of
longname).
