One of the big problems with modifying the way the dcache shrinker and LRU implementation works is that the LRU is abused in several ways. One of these is shrink_dentry_list(). Basically, we can move a dentry off the LRU onto a different list without doing any accounting changes, and then use dentry_lru_prune() to remove it from what-ever list it is now on to do the LRU accounting at that point. This makes it -really hard- to change the LRU implementation. The use of the per-sb LRU lock serialises movement of the dentries between the different lists and the removal of them, and this is the only reason that it works. If we want to break up the dentry LRU lock and lists into, say, per-node lists, we remove the only serialisation that allows this lru list/dispose list abuse to work. To make this work effectively, the dispose list has to be isolated from the LRU list - dentries have to be removed from the LRU *before* being placed on the dispose list. This means that the LRU accounting and isolation is completed before disposal is started, and that means we can change the LRU implementation freely in future. This means that dentries *must* be marked with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST when they are placed on the dispose list so that we don't think that parent dentries found in try_prune_one_dentry() are on the LRU when the are actually on the dispose list. This would result in accounting the dentry to the LRU a second time. Hence dentry_lru_del() has to handle the DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST case Signed-off-by: NDave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NGlauber Costa <glommer@openvz.org> Cc: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> Cc: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@android.com> Cc: Carlos Maiolino <cmaiolino@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: J.
