Hi, I've been looking through lustre, finding things, and fixing some of them. There are three distinct subsets of patches here. - 1 patch to fix a few typos in comments - 2 patches to fix dcache issues, particularly around DCACHE_DISCONNECTED - 9 patches to clean up code in ldlm_flock(). These started as some simple list_entry tidy-ups, and just grew....
The most interesting from a review perspective is staging: lustre: llite: fix various issues with ll_splice_alias. there are real locking issues in there, but its hard to be 100% sure I've fixed them all and not introduced new issues. It would be *really* nice if we could get rid of the concept of "invalid" dentries, but I don't yet understand it well enough to propose and alternative.
