It just reports the total number of dentries in the LRU lists. As excessive number of negative dentries can have an impact on system performance, it will be wise to track the number of positive and negative dentries separately. This patch adds tracking for the total number of negative dentries in the system LRU lists and reports it in the 7th field in the /proc/sys/fs/dentry-state file. The number, however, does not include negative dentries that are in flight but not in the LRU yet as well as those in the shrinker lists. The number of positive dentries in the LRU lists can be roughly found by subtracting the number of negative dentries from the unused count.
