As a result, the dentry won't be killed and the corresponding inode can't be evicted. In the following example, the DAX policy can't take effects unless we do a drop_caches manually. # DCACHE_LRU_LIST will be set echo abcdefg > test.txt # DCACHE_REFERENCED will be set and DCACHE_DONTCACHE can't do anything xfs_io -c 'chattr +x' test.txt # Drop caches to make DAX changing take effects echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches What this patch does is preventing fast_dput() from returning true if DCACHE_DONTCACHE is set. Then retain_dentry() will detect the DCACHE_DONTCACHE and will return false. As a result, the dentry will be killed and the inode will be evicted. In this way, if we change per-file DAX policy, it will take effects automatically after this file is closed by all processes. I also add some comments to make the code more clear.
