[PATCH v4 04/72] pidfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly

From: Christian Brauner

Date: Wed Oct 29 2025 - 08:20:58 EST


While pidfs 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.
