As it stands this comment is confusing, and not quite grammatical.

By the way, on further examination of the code it doesn't actually do

what's described in the case where the target name is large and the

moved-from name is small.  Instead, it reports random garbage (usually

part of a name left over from some other dentry?) as far as I can tell:
from switch_names():
	if (dname_external(target)) {

                if (dname_external(dentry)) {

			...

                } else {

                        /*

                         * dentry:internal, target:external.  Steal target's

                         * storage and make target internal.

                         */

                        dentry->d_name.name = target->d_name.name;

                        target->d_name.name = target->d_iname;
... but target->d_iname could have anything in it, right?
