In earlier patches we moved both nsfs and pidfs to path_from_stashed(). The helper currently tries to add and stash a new dentry if a reusable dentry couldn't be found and returns EAGAIN if it lost the race to stash the dentry. The caller can use EAGAIN to retry. The helper and the two filesystems be written in a way that makes returning EAGAIN unnecessary. To do this we need to change the dentry->d_prune() implementation of nsfs and pidfs to not simply replace the stashed dentry with NULL but to use a cmpxchg() and only replace their own dentry. Then path_from_stashed() can then be changed to not just stash a new dentry when no dentry is currently stashed but also when an already dead dentry is stashed. If another task managed to install a dentry in the meantime it can simply be reused. Pack that into a loop and call it a day.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
