No, negative dentries shouldn't have any effect on that. negative entries help to optimize away lookups. E.g. thing of the PATH variable and say your shell is not in the first directory listed there. Having a negative dentry for it means that you don't have to do a lookup in the first directories everytime someone wants to use the shell. |
