No need to mess with ->d_op at all. Note that ->d_delete that always returns 1 is equivalent to having DCACHE_DONTCACHE in ->d_flags. Later the same thing will be placed into ->s_d_flags of the filesystems where we want that behaviour for all dentries; then the check in simple_lookup() will at least get unlikely() slapped on it. NOTE: there are only two filesystems where * simple_lookup() might be called * default ->d_op is non-NULL * its ->d_delete() doesn't always return 1 If not for those, we could have simple_lookup() just set DCACHE_DONTCACHE without even looking at ->d_op. Filesystems in question are btrfs and tracefs; both have ->d_delete() returning 1 on anything fed to simple_lookup(), so both would be fine with simple_lookup() setting DCACHE_DONTCACHE regardless of ->d_op. IOW, we might want to drop the check for ->d_op in simple_lookup(); it's definitely a separate story, though.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
