- * Searches the children of the parent dentry for the name in question. If
- * the dentry is found its reference count is incremented and the dentry

- * __d_lookup is dcache_lock free. The hash list is protected using RCU.
- * Memory barriers are used while updating and doing lockless traversal.
- * To avoid races with d_move while rename is happening, d_lock is used.
- *
- * Overflows in memcmp(), while d_move, are avoided by keeping the length
- * and name pointer in one structure pointed by d_qstr.
- *
- * rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() are used to disable preemption while
- * lookup is going on.
- *
- * The dentry unused LRU is not updated even if lookup finds the required dentry
- * in there. It is updated in places such as prune_dcache, shrink_dcache_sb,
- * select_parent and __dget_locked. This laziness saves lookup from dcache_lock
- * acquisition.
- *
- * d_lookup() is protected against the concurrent renames in some unrelated
- * directory using the seqlockt_t rename_lock.
+ * d_lookup searches the children of the parent dentry for the name in
