Subject: [PATCH 0/7] proc: Dentry flushing without proc_mnt


Just because it is less of a fundamental change and less testing I went
and looked at updating proc_flush_task to use a list as Al suggested.

If we can stand an sget/deactivate_super pair for every dentry we want
to invalidate I think I have something.

Comments from anyone will be appreciated I gave this some light testing
and the code is based on something similar already present in proc so
I think there is a high chance this code is correct but I could easily
be wrong.

Linus, does this approach look like something you can stand?

Eric

      proc: Rename in proc_inode rename sysctl_inodes sibling_inodes
      proc: Generalize proc_sys_prune_dcache into proc_prune_siblings_dcache
      proc: Mov rcu_read_(lock|unlock) in proc_prune_siblings_dcache
      proc: Use d_invalidate in proc_prune_siblings_dcache
      proc: Clear the pieces of proc_inode that proc_evict_inode cares about
      proc: Use a list of inodes to flush from proc
      proc: Ensure we see the exit of each process tid exactly once
