It turns out that the problem was this in dentry.c:

627-            if (unlikely(do_udba
628-                         && !is_root
629-                         && (unhashed != d_unhashed(h_dentry)
630://#if 1
631-                             || name->len != h_dentry->d_name.len
632-                             || memcmp(name->name, h_dentry->d_name.name,
633-                                       name->len)
634-//#endif
635-                                 ))) {
636-                    LKTRTrace("unhash 0x%x 0x%x, %.*s %.*s\n",
637-                              unhashed, d_unhashed(h_dentry),
638-                              DLNPair(dentry), DLNPair(h_dentry));
639-                    goto err;
640-            }

Commenting the #if block makes it compile now.

Works great too.  Even performance wise.  Needs more testing though.

You really need to post a cleaned up version for review and possible 
inclusion into mainline.  It definitely looks solid.


Thanks!

This is way too complicated, but I tried it anyway, only to find it doesn't
compile:

...and more...


It would make matters much easier if you could just publish a link to a
combo-patch against at least the latest stable kernel, like 2.6.22.


Thanks!
