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.
