[PATCH v3 03/70] nsfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly

From: Christian Brauner
Date: Fri Oct 24 2025 - 06:55:06 EST


While nsfs dentries are never hashed and thus retain_dentry() will never
consider them for placing them on the LRU it isn't great to always have
to go and remember that. Raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly as a visual
marker that dentries aren't kept but freed immediately instead.
