Subjectpre-patch2.1.45-3 lookin' good
The dcache in pre-patch 2.1.45-3 is much improved -- it seems to be
releasing some inodes now, enough so that I can copy kernel source trees
and run diff -ru in a 6M machine. A nasty bug triggered by removing
busy files also has disappeared.

One minor problem I'm having -- after I mount and umount a volume,
there's still an inode held on the volume, so I can't mount it again.
Is there a call to invalidate the dcache for a device?

I needed one trivial patch to get things to compile, as attached.
