    [PATCH] PATCH 5/16: NFSD: BKL removal: add BKL where needed in filehandle lookup · 322eddbd

    Protect dentry attachement from BKL
    
    The process of attaching a dentry into the dcache
    still needs the BKL I think.
    When all the other BKL changes in the VFS settle down, I
    will revisit this.  But as it is not a very frequent
    operation, the BKL wont hurt.
    
    Also add a down/up of i_sem when doing a lookup(".."),
    as it is down for all other lookups.
