Thanks for these. They look good. That code certainly need some cleaning up.

I didn't get 6/8. Could you resend?

Patch 5/8 removes a number of comments without adding any.
Do you think it would be valuable to add a comment explaining the subtleties for why directories and files are handled differently.

Patch 8/8 I should look through again to make sure all the dentry references look right (I found them easy to get wrong). Splitting up find_exported_dentry was definitely a good idea.
You left in a comment in "If we weren't after a directory" in a place were we know we weren't, so at least it should be "Since we weren't....".

The rest all look fine.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

To me the new code was clear enough to explain what's going on, but I can send another patch ontop of the patch series adding and updating some comments.

Yes. I noticed this and remove it in an so far unsubmitted patch later in the series, but it really should be in that patch.
