    [PATCH] iget_locked [5/6] · aa624c8d
    Jan Harkes authored
    This patch starts taking i_ino dependencies out of the VFS. The FS
    provided test and set callbacks become responsible for testing and
    setting inode->i_ino.
    
    Because most filesystems are based on 32-bit unique inode numbers
    several functions are duplicated to keep iget_locked as a fast path. We
    can avoid unnecessary pointer dereferences and function calls for this
    specific case.
