Hi,

while browsing VFS sources I have found that I do not fully understand why
there are two callbacks in VFS for revalidating. One that 
is 'd_revalidate' from dentry_operations and the other 'revalidate' 
from inode_operations. I ask because there is very little difference
between what they should do. Moreover both of them are called with
the pointer to dentry which seems to be even more confusing. I think
that those two functions can be happily combined together without 
major changes in kernel infrastructure, am I right ? 

Thanks,
Roman.
