Willy,

The link_path_walk fix in v2.4.30 is related to a reference counting
bug triggered by "umount"...

As Christoph noted OpenAFS seems to be doing nasty things... it seems
to play with dentries inode i_state directly? If that is the case,
maybe it should define d_iput?

static inline void dentry_iput(struct dentry * dentry)
{
struct inode *inode = dentry->d_inode;
if (inode) {
dentry->d_inode = NULL;
list_del_init(&dentry->d_alias);
spin_unlock(&dcache_lock);
if (dentry->d_op && dentry->d_op->d_iput)
dentry->d_op->d_iput(dentry, inode);
