From 60942f2f235ce7b817166cdf355eed729094834d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Fri, 2 May 2014 15:38:39 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] dcache: don't need rcu in shrink_dentry_list() Since now the shrink list is private and nobody can free the dentry while it is on the shrink list, we can remove RCU protection from this.
