SubjectRe: [PATCH] fs/dcache.c: revamped to use a more straightforward and efficient way to operate
  Hello,

thanks for the patch. I have a few comments to it:
1) the patch should have a description in it, not only an email subject
2) usually, if an 'if' branch ends with return, as is the case in your
patch, we don't use 'else' for the other branch...

BTW: I'm not convinced your code would be faster (or slower) than the
original one but you're right it will be easier to read...
