[PATCH v2 03/63] nsfs: raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly

From: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-10-22 16:06:21
Also in: bpf, cgroups, linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

While nsfs dentries are never hashed and thus retain_dentry() will never
consider them for placing them on the LRU it isn't great to always have
to go and remember that. Raise DCACHE_DONTCACHE explicitly as a visual
marker that dentries aren't kept but freed immediately instead.
