[PATCH] proc: Rewrite the proc dentry flush on exit optimization
To keep the dcache from filling up with dead /proc entries we flush them on process exit. However over the years that code has gotten hairy with a dentry_pointer and a lock in task_struct and misdocumented as a correctness feature. I have rewritten this code to look and see if we have a corresponding entry in the dcache and if so flush it on process exit. This removes the extra fields in the task_struct and allows me to trivially handle the case of a /proc/<tgid>/task/<pid> entry as well as the current /proc/<pid> entries. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
