The anonymous dentry is transferred the name and parentage from another dentry. The following changes were made in [try #2]: (*) d_materialise_dentry() now switches the parentage of the two nodes around correctly when one or other of them is self-referential. The following changes were made in [try #7]: (*) d_instantiate_unique() has had the interior part split out as function __d_instantiate_unique(). Callers of this latter function must be holding the appropriate locks. (*) _d_rehash() has been added as a wrapper around __d_rehash() to call it with the most obvious hash list (the one from the name). d_rehash() now calls _d_rehash(). (*) d_materialise_dentry() is now __d_materialise_dentry() and is static. (*) d_materialise_unique() added to perform the combination of d_find_alias(), d_materialise_dentry() and d_add_unique() that the NFS client was doing twice, all within a single dcache_lock critical section. This reduces the number of times two different spinlocks were being accessed. The following further changes were made: (*) Add the dentries onto their parents d_subdirs lists.
