    Yes, but Linux does have standards, and those fixes are usually to work around hardware issues, not software misconfiguration, and they usually go around a lot of back and forth to justify the addition.
    Lastly, reducing unnecessary contention is not a kludge, from any reasonable POV.
    Looking at the patches they seem sensible. The only thing that may be questionable is whether negative dentry caching is needed when they could just use filesystem events notifications to check if an entry was added.
