- Since 2.5.62, dcache lookup is dcache_lock free. This does not affect
normal filesystems as long as they follow proper dcache interfaces. Care
should be taken (like holding per dentry lock) if one is racing with
d_lookup bringing a new dentry in dcache.
- Since 2.5.75-bk1 onwards separate lock is used for vfsmounts instead of
dcache_lock.
