- * Drops the /proc/@pid dcache entry from the hash chains.
+ * It is safe and reasonable to cache /proc entries for a task until
+ * that task exits. After that they just clog up the dcache with
+ * useless entries, possibly causing useful dcache entries to be
+ * flushed instead. This routine is proved to flush those useless

*
- * Dropping /proc/@pid entries and detach_pid must be synchroneous,
- * otherwise e.g. /proc/@pid/exe might point to the wrong executable,
- * if the pid value is immediately reused. This is enforced by
- * - caller must acquire spin_lock(p->proc_lock)
- * - must be called before detach_pid()
- * - proc_pid_lookup acquires proc_lock, and checks that
- * the target is not dead by looking at the attach count
- * of PIDTYPE_PID.
+ * NOTE: This routine is just an optimization so it does not guarantee
+ * that no dcache entries will exist at process exit time it
+ * just makes it very unlikely that any will persist.
