Subject[PATCH v2 3/4] limit nr_dentries per superblock
Date
This patch lays the foundation for us to limit the dcache size.
Each super block can have only a maximum amount of dentries under its
sub-tree. Allocation fails if we we're over limit and the cache
can't be pruned to free up space for the newcomers.
