spin_lock is still uninlined.

static inline __attribute__((always_inline)) struct dentry *dget_parent(struct dentry *dentry)
{
struct dentry *ret;

_spin_lock(&dentry->d_lock);
ret = dget(dentry->d_parent);
__raw_spin_unlock(&(&dentry->d_lock)->raw_lock);
return ret;
}

as is spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_lock_irq()

uninlining spin_lock will probably increase overall text size, but mainly in
the out-of-line section.

<looks>

we removed the out-of-line section :(


read_lock is out-of-line. read_unlock is inlined

write_lock is out-of-line. write_unlock is out-of-line.


Needs work ;)
