This makes em go "what if we had multiple dentries associated with that inode?" Then the code would just invalidate the first one. I guess we don't have export_operations or anything like that, but this makes me worry... Linus

We don't allow aliases for directory inodes, iirc. So then it doesn't depend on some /proc implementation issue any more, then it's fundamental that there's only one dentry. Linus

The thing is, for sysctls you are likely to run into consequent entries with the same superblock, making for a big pile of useless playing with ->s_active... And yes, that applied to mainline as well

And yes, that applied to mainline as well Which is why I worked to merge the two cases since they were so close. Fewer things to fix and more eyeballs on the code. Eric

The function d_prune_aliases has the problem that it will only prune aliases thare are completely unused. It will not remove aliases for the dcache or even think of removing mounts from the dcache. For that behavior d_invalidate is needed. To use d_invalidate replace d_prune_aliases with d_find_alias followed by d_invalidate and dput. This is safe and complete because no inode in proc has any hardlinks or aliases. To make this behavior change clear rename proc_prune_siblings_dache proc_invalidate_siblings_dcache, and rename proc_sys_prune_dcache proc_sys_invalidate_dcache. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
