kernel lock in dcache.c

Hi, d_move() in fs/dcache.c is checking the kernel lock is held (switch_names() does the same, but is only called from d_move()). My question is why? I can't see what it is using the kernel lock to sync/protect against. Anyone out there know? Thanks, Mark - To unsubscribe from this li
