i still manage to see a problem with 2.6 flushing dcache children (i have
a directory with lots of child entries).   it gets stuck walking d_alias.
the following seems to cure my problem.  i have been of the opinion that
d_prune_aliases() should be sufficient.  perhaps others using 2.6 could
try this patch and see if they get the dreaded "Increase -stat parameter
of afsd(VLRU cycle?)"
