From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> block_devcie is allocated from bdev_alloc() by bdev_alloc_inode(), and currently block_device contains a pointer that point to the address of inode, while such inode is allocated together: bdev_alloc inode = new_inode() // inode is &bdev_inode->vfs_inode bdev = I_BDEV(inode) // bdev is &bdev_inode->bdev bdev->inode = inode Add a new helper to get address of inode from bdev by add operation instead of memory access, which is more efficiency.
