*gyah*... I'd missed the !@#!# macro you've added there. Could you
explain the reasons for using it at all? Not to mention anything
else, you've missed
# define d_refcount(d) ((d)->d_count)
in Lustre. What's the point of your macro (d_refcount -> d_count), anyway?
All references outside of fs/namei.c, fs/dcache.c, include/linux/dcache.h
should be via d_count(dentry) anyway...
