    Inode: Allow external initialisers · 2cb1599f
    David Chinner authored
    To allow XFS to combine the XFS and linux inodes into a single
    structure, we need to drive inode lookup from the XFS inode cache,
    not the generic inode cache. This means that we need initialise a
    struct inode from a context outside alloc_inode() as it is no longer
    used by XFS.
    
    Factor and export the struct inode initialisation code from
    alloc_inode() to inode_init_always() as a counterpart to
    inode_init_once().  i.e. we have to call this init function for each
    inode instantiation (always), as opposed inode_init_once() which is
    only called on slab object instantiation (once).
