These "_shared" versions of various inode operations are not guaranteed an exclusive lock on the directory but are guaranteed an exclusive lock on the dentry within the directory. i_rwsem *may* be held exclusively or *may* be held shared, in which case an exclusive lock will be held on the dentry - provided by a later patch. This will allow a graceful transition from exclusive to shared locking for directory updates. mkdir_shared is a bit different as it optionally returns a new dentry for cases when the filesystem is not able to use the original dentry. This allows vfs_mkdir_return() to avoid the need for an extra lookup.
