Insertion of a dentry into the hash table is done using hlist_add_head_rcu() which take care of ordering the writes - the writes to the dentry must be visible before the dentry is - inserted. This works in conjunction with hlist_for_each_rcu() while + inserted. This works in conjunction with hlist_for_each_rcu(), + which has since been replaced by hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(), while walking the hash chain. The only requirement is that all initialization to the dentry must be done before hlist_add_head_rcu() since we don't have dcache_lock protection |
