Commit Message

Li, Hao Sept. 4, 2020, 7:59 a.m. UTC
If generic_drop_inode() returns true, it means iput_final() can evict
this inode regardless of whether it is dirty or not. If we check
I_DONTCACHE in generic_drop_inode(), any inode with this bit set will be
evicted unconditionally. This is not the desired behavior because
I_DONTCACHE only means the inode shouldn't be cached on the LRU list.
As for whether we need to evict this inode, this is what
generic_drop_inode() should do. This patch corrects the usage of
I_DONTCACHE.

This patch was proposed in [1].

Hi,

As discussed in [1], this patch is the basis of another one. Could I
submit the second patch now to change the DCACHE_DONTCACHE behavior or I
have to wait for this patch to be merged.

Thanks,
Hao Li
