Bill,
I chased down the dcache shrink patch and rebuilt 2.1.57 with:
bad_inode57-patch file_table57-patch nfs_57-patch procfs_57-patch remount_57-patch shrink_dcache_sb-57.patch smbfs_57-patch sunrpc_57-patch (with one-line fixup per your posting)
Everything seems to work fine, but I've noticed that my file manager (Midnight Commander) is taking about 6-8x longer to stat a large directory (approx. 2200 files) than usual. Before I ifdef'ed the printk's out, the dcache code reported a large amount of activity at this point. I'm guessing that this slowdown is due to the shrinking algorithm?
Steve
