DCACHE_RCUACCESS is gone; having an RCU delay on dentry freeing is the
default. DCACHE_NORCU opts out, and only d_alloc_pseudo() has any
business doing so.
+--
+[mandatory]
+ d_alloc_pseudo() is internal-only; uses outside of alloc_file_pseudo() are
+ very suspect (and won't work in modules). Such uses are very likely to
+ be misspelled d_alloc_anon().
* never be anyone's children or parents. Unlike all other
* dentries, these will not have RCU delay between dropping the
* last reference and freeing them.
+ *
+ * The only user is alloc_file_pseudo() and that's what should
+ * be considered a public interface. Don't use directly.
